Our New High School We, the Class of 1925, feel that we express the true sentiment of the other classes in the high school as well as that of the citizens of Edwardsville when we express our sincere gratitude for our new home. We realize that its planning and completion has cost a great deal of sacrifice both in time and energy. We congratulate the Board of Education, the Architect, Contractors as well as the citizens upon their finished product. The school as it now stands is not complete. There is in the minds of the Board of Education a plan for a new gymnasium to form a left wing for it. It will probably be built within a year or two depending upon finances. When built no doubt it will be in accord with the thoroughness now manifest in the main building. The main building as it now stands is composed of a manual training, cooking, and sewing departments on the ground floor with further special rooms for free hand and mechanical drawing. There are also three additional class rooms on this floor, a shower room locker and toilet rooms for boys and for girls. The latter prevails on each floor. The first floor has the following: two large study halls seating seventy-five students each, the superintendent’s, general, and principal’s offices, the bookkeeping and typewriting rooms, library, a rest room for women and one for the men and several class rooms. The second floor has the laboratories for Chemistry, Biology and Physics, a room for the Dean of girls and class rooms. The corridors are spacious, well lighted, the stairs fire proof and adequate. There is a vacuum cleaning system installed, ample provision for fire, well lighted rooms and has three entrances in front and two in the rear. The heating plant is separate from the main building. The athletic field at the rear is high, ample and well drained. The tract of land is composed of about thirteen acres and will permit a beautiful job of land scaping. Page Eight
