At the high school on Morris Street there began what was known as the Lunch Counter. Here the pupils might buy candy, pies, fruits, sandwiches, and lemonade, Wfhen the school was moved to Duke Street in 1922, the pupils found a new cafeteria at their service. Here for a small sum one may buy good, hot meals. Chapter HI OUR LIBRARY Professor E. VV. Kennedy in 1882 realized the need of a library. Accord- ingly, he placed in his office several dictionaries, encyclopedias, and reference books. The pupils of the school had access to these at all times during the day. but could not take them from the room. Friends and alumni of the school contributed to the number until in the Morris Street building a special room was set aside, which was known as the library. Books lined the walls on all sides. The drawback, however, was the same as in the old building-the books could not be taken from the library. In the present High School there is an excellent library with an efficient librarian. Books may be taken out and kept a week. This gives the students an opportunity to enjoy the books as never before. Each year the number and quality of the books have been raised until one may find almost any desired book on its shelves. Chapter IV OUR GYM Exercise is one of the most important factors in physical development. In the very first school it played a most important part. The pupils learned to use dumbbells and wands with amazing grace and agility, There was no room. set aside for this. The pupils were marched out intc the open to go through the drills. Of course, in the winter, it was no easy job to exercise when one was all bundled up in coats. Realizing this, the powers that be provided that a complete gymnasium and a swimming pool be constructed in our present high school building, and the students may now enjoy recreation from their studies in the exciting games staged there.
