THE ELSTON1AN Page I I THE NEW M. C. H. S. Michigan City’s third high school was constructed in 1924 on what had previously been the school playgrounds. It is a splendid three story building containing all the necessary offices and class rooms, but lacking an auditorium. The assembly room has a seating capacity of two hundred and seventy. Though it has robbed the children of one of their pleasures, it has done away with the over-crowded conditions found in the city’s schools. Of the three high schools this one is the most satisfactory for the present student body which numbers about seven hundred and ten. School opened in this building in the fall of 1925, and the Class of ’26 has the honor of being the first class to graduate from this new high school.

THE ELSTONIAN Page I 3 MR. KEELER During the many years in which Mr. Keeler has been superintendent, the schools of Michigan City have made great progress in organization and efficiency. His regime has been unusually successful and he has been a true friend to every member of the class of ’26. We sincerely regret the departure of our superintendent and good friend, Mr. Keeler.
