Clijitlif Elrl?llilQi3ER6ieg were made to rebuild. It was decided that the new building was going to be fire proof. Application was made for a WPA project. The board of ed- ucation selected Frank Jackson of St. Cloud as architect. Mr. Jackson sub- mitted several plans for a new build- ing and after careful study and delib- eration one was selected. WPA selected Anton Sando of Isle, Minnesota, as superintendent, Oscar F. Nelson, foreman, of Clinton, and George Bottge of Ortonville as time keeper on the project. Actual construction got under way about the first of June, 1939. The building will be entirely completed for occupancy in September, 1940, at an estimated cost of S135,000. Of this amount, our district will contribute S'73,000, WPA S55,000, and SERA 5B7,000. This project has been outstanding in many respects and is considered one of the best in the state of Minne- sota. The cooperation given us by dis- trict, area and state WPA officials has been most excellent. The same can be said for our architect, superin- tendent and all the other workers. The members of the board of edu- cation who served during this build- ing project are Mrs. Cora Bergan, Mrs. Rhoda Plummer, A. K. Olson, Thos. Schlimme. S. P. Steen, and E. L. Wil- liams. They have devoted much of their time and energy in making it possible for Independent School Dis- trict No. 50 to again have a school building that any community can well be proud of. They deserve our thanks and appreciation. This also holds true for any other board member of the past. We feel that it would be interesting for the future history of Clinton if the officials and workers of this WPA project were officially listed. They are as follows: S. L. Stolte, State WPA Administrator, Harry Phinny, Direct- or, Dist. No. 53 Holman I. Pearl, En- gineer, Dist. No. 5g E. W. Edwards, Engineer, Area No. 23, Anton Sando, Project Superintendentg Oscar F.

It has been said, If standards are to be raised in a community it must be done in a positive manner by in- stitutions and organizations that are constructive forces. A good school in a community is such a force. What the Clinton school has meant to this community can never be measured in dollars and cents. We must acknowledge that this his- tory could be much more complete. However, we have tried to give you the high lights of the Clinton public school during the fifty-two years of its history. We trust this institution will always be a Builder,' in this community. f -J A N., 1 X51. XY X -Q.-X Cq it ,X 3. 1 X X ,xii sl' .211 A H
