FARRELL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Standing majestically, the new Farrell Senior High School holds dominion over a spacious campus on East Haywood Street. As the beauty spot of our city, this modern, fireproof construction basks in the merited glory of its artistic workmanship, as well as in the long-waited goal of achievement that it represents. On November 30, 1939, the modernistic entrances of our new high school stood ajar to admit townspeople and visitors to view the twenty-two class rooms, four commercial rooms, four science laboratories, a visual education room, an art room, a library, a mechanical drawing room, the superinte-ndent's office suite, the principal's office suite, the secretary's office and board room, two teachers' rest rooms, the band and music room, the combined auditorium and gymnasium with the stage, four storage rooms, two shower and locker rooms, two health rooms, a cedar storage room, two home economics rooms, a housekeeping suite, two machinery rooms, a boiler room, four shops, two coaches' quarters, and a cafeteria. This modern edifice with its marble and travertine finished hallways, its master tile and terrazzo floors, its air conditioning units, and its automatic eye control lighting facilities met the approval of all participants in the Dedication Day tours. Climaxing in an all-important evening ceremony held in the auditorium-gymnasium before a mass crowd of approximately three thousand attendants, the exercises of Dedication Day, November 30, were a worthy demonstration of appreciation for the House of Learning which stands a monument to the progress of educational betterment. Although we, the graduating Class of 1940, shall be listed among those missing from the classrooms and hallways of this, our Alma Mater, we ask, as the first students to be graduated from its portals, that you who aspire to graduate in years to come may cherish it as have we. Grant this glorious Alma Mater the respect it merits! Grant it the long life of' beauty you alone can give it! Dedicate yourselves as the foundation upon which this epitome of achievement may rest! Strive on and on, oh, Alma Materg Fly the blue and gold on high! We shall pledge our faith triumphant To our school, to Farrell High! l IB! .
