t'OU1lIlCll THE SCHOOL YEAR Foreword 'l'o the Class of '22: Your final year has been one of the most eventful in the history ot lioise lligh School. XYe began it in crowded quarters, amid the con- fusion of building construction, with the largest enrollment ever registered in the institution and due to financial stringency throughout the country, operation has neces- sarily been on an economy basis. ln spite of limitations and difficul- ties, we can already look back upon the year l'12l-V122 as a year of real progress. Hur achievements are the result uf intense effort and co-operation. XYitness. the football victories in athletics, the Hohemian Girl in music. the R. U. 'lf C. in service. the successful class room work in the long llonor Rolls. The pro- gram itself has been an inspiration. llut more striking than the pro- gram has been the spirit of its execution.

4 COURIER 'I SILENT proof of the progress of Boise High School is given A by the new central section of the school proper, which was constructed during the year 1921-1922, at an approximate cost of fF275,000, and will be ready for occupa- tion next September. It is a three-story white pressed-brick building, suggestive of the ancient Grecian architecture, with imposing columns of Ionic design at the facade. Above the entrance, in the cen- ter of the stone pediment, the head of l'lato, the famous Greek philosopher and founder of the Academic school, is chiseled in high relief. The face of Plato was made from a model which the sculp- tor took from the original bust of Plato. in bronfe, which now stands in the Museo Nazionale, Naples. Around the face of Plato is carved a circular laurel wreath. with talilet at the top, and out- side are cut in circular form four words in Greek, which, translated, are the four virtues which Plato taught: VVisdom, Courage, Self-Control, and Justice. The dominating feature of the new sec- tion is the large auditorium with a seating capacity of 1500, a stage. dressing rooms and orchestra pit large enough to handle all high school productions. Large windows on either wall, which eliminates the necessity of electric lighting for day- time use, is a feature of the aduitorium itself. The proscenium arch will be of extreme beauty, holding cast and mod- eled figures in relief, the central figure of which will be the Muse of Comedy. The departments to be accommodated by the new section will be the enlarged school library, the Principal's and Assist- ant Principal's offices, supply rooms, the book room, the English and History departments, and the Art and Music departments. The radio station and equipment will be quartered underneath the stage in the auditorium, where a room has been especially designed for it. The construction of this latest addition to the Independent school district build- ings is the result of the combined efforts, vo-operation and vision of the citizens of Boise, school authorities, students and faculty. It now completes one of the finest high school buildings in the Northwest. The environment furnished by such a magnificent structure as this, should indeed be an inspiration to both students and faculty alike, and should also prove an unusual object of community pride to the townspeople.
