The new Brewer High School is a fine example of modern architecture in public buildings. This edifice is designed to be not only functional but also beautiful. Our school is made up of two main buildings lying parallel with each other and joined by a con- necting corridor. One of the divisions consists of a combination gymnasium- auditorium, guidance and administrative offices, and a modern cafeteria. As a gymnasium this division is the scene of physical education classes and athletic events. All of Brewer High School's home bas- ketball games are played here. The gymnasium provides a place for the student to develop himself physically. . ,.-. v v . - 1, f 1. an Y-..

This hall, exceeding the length of a football field, serves as the main thoroughfare to the activities of the student. Along each side of the main corridor lockers are installed for the convenience and welfare of the individual student. One of the corridor's main features is that of safety. As this hall has exits at its extremities, a speedy but orderly evacuation is assured in case of an emergency. The cor- ridor combines the features of safety and convenience. Thus it makes an important contribution to the student and school. Used as an auditorium, this building is a facility where our in the social and cultural fields are demonstrated through assemblies, conventions, plays, and dances. This year the was the scene of three conventions, that of Student Council Homemalcers of America, and Teachers Conventions, as well as site of the Regional Science Fair. The school spirit is intensified pregame rallies held periodically throughout the year. Asse give the student an opportunity to demonstrate his talents as as to entertain his classmates. Our artistic appreciation is s ened by participation in or attendance at the Senior Play and On' Act Play. At the various formal and semi-formal dances throughout the year the student learns social grace.

i1 With the new emphasis upon the basic sciences brought to being by recent educational evaluations, the necessity ot creating new tacilities tor scientific instruction has arisen. The new Brewer High School has met these needs by the establishment ot two modern and well-equipped laboratories tor the two basic sciences, physics and chemistry. l-lere in the physics lab the theoretical know- ledge learned in the classroom is put into practical applications. With the help ot modern laboratory equipment the physical loves ot nature are proved through the actual experimentation by the physic student. Leading educators in our country recognize the tact that the laboratories play a big role in the scientific curricula ot any in- structional institution.

This room serves the same basic purpose as that ot the physics lab, in that it is a chemical worlcshop where scientific experimentation is carried on. This large, tully- eciuipped laboratory attords to the chemistry student spacious area tor study and experimentation. i-lere too classroom theory is illus- trated vividly through chemical analysis. ln both the classroom and the laboratory, the basic groundwork is laid for the student who wishes to turther his scientific interests in college. Chemical processes vital to the all-humanity are stddied under the direction ot a com petent instructor. For the student with genuine scientitic inclina- tions, special advanced chemistry' projects may be carried on. These advance projects give the student an opportunity to put his practical tnowledge and ingenuity into productive pdrsuits. Such modern and functional facilities as these ot the new Brewer High School assure the student the greatest opportunities for bait vvorr and play.
