Shortly after the last publication came from the press an election for the issuing of bonds for a new school building was called. A few days before the election. Mr. Black called the high school together in the Moudy building and plans were laid for a campaign to impress upon the people the necessity for a new building. Students and all who were i11 favor of the building worked hard and were very much elated when the results of the election were announced. The issue carried by a small margin. The board of education now started to work in earnest to get a new building, but in a few days after the election, an injunction was filed restraining them from selling bomls. or proceeding in the purchase of grounds. This injunction de- layed all progress, until the case came before Judge Miller in the Oircuit court in Feb. 19, l92l, at which time the opponents' counsel stipulated practically all the charges in the injunction. After hearing the complaints and the evidence the court deliberated only a few moments, and in his decision gave a very interesting and in- structive lecture on the value of education. The board was now free to pro- ceed. and no time was lost. A great deal of credit is due to those men who at that time were on the board of education. Meetings were held every few nights, regardless of weather and business. Plans and specifications for the new building and sale of bonds were uppermost in tl1e minds of all the members of the board. Too much credit cannot be given to Geo. B. Gray, J. XY. Smith, Jasper Ray, NV. S. Minor. Thomas Sweeney. E. O. Lewis and J. ll. Phillips who composed the board of education at that time. These men gave freely of their time, and every effort possible was made to make the building as nearly perfect as could be done. The plans were fin- ally accepted, the bonds sold, and the contract let to Mr. Tillman of Cen- tralia. Mr. Smith, Mr. Minor and Mr. Ray were appointed on the build- ing committee. At this time Mr. Gray, Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Phillips re- tired from the board. The Building continued to grow during the summer but was not ready for occupancy in Sept. The Moudy building could no longer be rented so G. D. T. H. S. had no building in which to have school. Several churches came to our rescue with offers of their buildings for school purposes, and the Miners Hall was also offered us. The Miners Hall being the best adapted for school purposes we accepted the offer, and held school there until in January when we moved to our permanent home. New labora- tory furniture of the most modern type was purchased and installed. A new gas plant was installed giving us an ample supply of gas for labora- tories and cooking room available at all times. Manual training, cooking and sewing have been introduced as permanent courses. The school has been on the accredited list with the University since the last publication and has, as its latest achievement, been admitted into the North Central Association.

This is the fourth year that we have had Mr. Black with us. ln so short a time, he has aecomplished many things for our school. We are now situated in a beautiful building, due in great measure to the influence he exerted in trying to procure a high school building. XVe were accredited by the Fniversity of Illinois the first year that he was with us. Now the G. B. T. H. S. is a member of the North Central As- sociation of Secondary Schools due to the un-- tiring efforts of Mr. Black to raise the standard of our school.
