. . She Hath Hewn Out Her Seven A yellow pick-up stirred the dusty pavement. Sun filtered through autumn leaves to paint a speckled pat- tern on its load. Boxes of books, stacks of chairs and desks were visible in the pattern. The truck stopped at 800 State Street. Men stepped up to the load and strained with the weight of each article. It was moving day. The building was finishedg now the truck trans- ferred implements of wisdom from the old building at 350 Hall to the new one. Men had written, carried, signed and counted peti- tions. They wrote articles for the Journal and Flashes. Some became angry and voiced opposition. Most waitedg they watched and listened and then voted down bond issues. Finally they voted to guarantee their children a new building. Bulldozers broke soil around a sign erected by students thanking their parents. Trucks hauled con- crete and a community watched their efforts produce a school. Wisdom hath builded a house. Our new building is the result of the years it took to build the school. But that building holds more than the books and desks the yellow truck brought to it. It holds the ability to pass learning on to each succeeding generation living in Eaton Rapidsg it holds wisdom. It holds wisdom to be learned in the library, in a meeting of the Future Homemaker's Club, in the classroom and on the wrestling mat. Every person entering this build- ing finds a different segment of that wisdom. Each seg- ment forms a pillar of wisdom capable of supporting a school. Wisdom hath builded a houseg she hath hewn out her seven pillars. K . f ., - I I .VpL...
