School Crfew Wlisuuasavuna ' Building ll I I l l ! OR us, the graduating class of 1940 of Chagrin Falls, it has been a memorable year. Truly, the Senior year of any high school class is one which is held fondly to the hearts of the stu- dents for many years afterwards. In our case, however, we feel we have a special reason to laud the year of 1940 to be THE year of our high school career. It has been during this year that a new school has been built and finished for the Chagrin Falls younger generation by the tax payers in response to the demand for increased educational facil- ities and modern equipment to meet the modern-day needs of our augmented student body. Is it any wonder then that we, the class of '40, should feel itself particularly honored in being able to be the first Senior class to recognize, officially, by means of this yearbook, this new school building to this community? ln fact, as you leaf through the following pages you will see many informal glimpses of it- a new school with new auditorium and stage, large gymnasium, modern cafeteria and study hall, shop and drawing room facilities and the beauty of the building as a whole. When the Senior class elected the Zenith Staff last fall, one of the first concerns of the staff, in regards to photography, was to give the citizen of Chagrin Falls, who had not had the oppor- tunity to'visit the new schw, a bird'sfeye view of the insides of the new structure. We hope we have been partly successful in doing that.
