THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON H I C. H SCHOOL FEBRUARY 1924 GREETINGS Well, once again we’re in your sight Your criticism to invite. Wc know that we’re not just “All Right,” Rut we have tried with all our might. Our advertisers one and all We thank for “spaces” large and small. ’Tis you who’ve answered to our call, 'Tis you who’ve helped us “Roll the Ball.” We extend our thanks, our very best, To students who have tried with zest, Who time and energy invest, To help us on to sure success. We also thank the faculty, Who’ve worked so very zealously So that this issue you might see. Now, look “us” over thoroughly. THE EDITORS. THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL Notice the Maroon-and-Grav cover? And the cut on the opposite page? And our cheery tone? Yes sir-e-c, we are celebrating this term all right. Why? There’s no need to ask! Just stroll past the old race track and see what’s un- der construction—our new High! We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our longed-for new quarters, and we are hoping that the real- ization will compare favorably with our expect- ations. Remember how it all came about? Remem- ber how the initial step toward the long-sought- for-goal was taken in 1920 during the adminis- stration of Doctor George Connors as Mayor, when the Board of Education bought the old race track as a suitable site for our new institu- tion; and how’ the final action w’as taken when, during the administration of Mr. Grant Tlior- burn as Mayor, the Board accepted the archi- tectural plans and specifications and awarded the contracts? And just to think, the building which is at present under construction is sched- uled to be completed within a year or so! The building, four stories high, with a facade 277 feet long, is to be of red brick, and Colonial in design. The ground floor is made up of such rooms as store rooms, shower rooms, and teach- ers’ rooms. Just imagine it—no “halls” for ours, for we are to have our own really and truly gymnasium with a longitudual partition and gallery. Here’s where our future champion basketball teams will shine! And there’s some- thing else we mustn’t forget,—a manual train- ing room, something new for Clifton High School, is included in the plans. The Board of Education are to have new quarters on the ground floor of the new high school. Our superintendent also is to have his office there. It certainly does look as though we’ll all be merry to-gether, doesn’t it? So much for the ground floor. On the second floor our Principal’s office will be located, along with seven standard class rooms and two store rooms. And here also we find the room which you arc all w’aiting to hear about—our auditorium, with a seating capacity of one thousand five hundred, a stage, dressing rooms, orchestra pit and organ chambers. All success to the coming Seniors in their plays. Now we’ll ascend another flight. We find no- thing important here except eight class rooms. When we have ascended the next flight we find ourselves on the top floor. The first place we’ll enter will be the Domestic Science Department, consisting of two rooms. Just see the gleaming whiteness of the place! Not a spec of dust ex- pa ;e SEVEN
