X' Many have been the changes since we moved from the old Garfield building into the present Senior High School building. The Garfield building, which stood a short dis- tance south and west of the present building, faithfully served its time, Its wooden steps were worn by the countless feet of students tramping up and down from one floor to the other, year after year. At one time it housed, not only the four High School grades, but also the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. An addition, built on the west side, was a joy to the parents, faculty and students. It contained a large assembly room and study hall combined. Wheim the Literary Society meetings were held in this room, the parents sat in the rather uncom- fortable seats without a word of complaint. Then came the day when the old building was vacated and the new building was used for the first time. The students were called upon to help move and it did not take long to make the change. Scarcely could we believe that there were to be so many modern conveniences in the new building. We were to have a new, up-to-date gymnasium, a study hall seating two hundred with a fine library conveniently located near it, a beautiful auditorium seating nearly a thousand people, a modern hot air heating system, a thermostatic cooling device so that the rooms would not be- come too warm, fine, large classrooms, restrooms, spacious offices, and up-to-date laboratory, Man- ual Arts and Home Economics rooms. S. U. Pett was Principal of the High School when the move was made. How proud he was of the new building! The curriculum was broad- , u O ened. New courses were added. Mr. Pett re- signed after several years to take up Social XVel- fare work at the Henry Ford Automobile Plant in Detroit. Later, he was promoted to the man- agership of one of the departments in the factory. Mr. Pett was followed by R. R. Cook. Mr. Cook made many friends here. He was a man of fine character and had a pleasing personality. After several years, he accepted the principalship of the Topeka High School and later became Principal of the Roosevelt Senior High School in Des Moines, Iowa. NVe were saddened to hear of Mr. Cook's death early in February of this year. The writer of this article was elected Principal upon Mr. Cookls resignation. Several thousand students have graduated during this principalship. Many of them have been outstanding. Probably, the banner year was in 1924 when our High School won three state championships: in Scholar- ship, Music and Basketball. Our school has been honored again this year with the state basketball championship. This year the largest class in the history of our school graduates. The entire school wishes them the best of success in whatever they may under- take. Your Principal, Rieia E. BROWN.
