19 THE HARRODIAN 26 HIGH SCHOOL The Harrodsburg High School, completed in February, 1924. is the first unit of three planned by the Board of Education to house the grades of a Junior and Senior I ligh School. In heating and lighting this building meets modern requirements, while in beauty of a simple and dignified order it is surpassed by few. To the building shown in the photograph has been added during the year a wing which comprises in its main room an auditorium seating seven hundred and a gymnasium. For auditorium purposes there is a large and well proportioned stage at one end. while the other is occupied by a balcony and booth for picture machine. On the main floor the seats are of the movable type and will be cleared away during the winter season for basketball. handball and other indoor games. It is hoped, through the addition of this wing, that Harrodsburg will again be privileged to hear excellent music, lectures and plays and that the pupils of the school may find valuable training in oratory, declamation, school plays and musical contests. The last unit to be added will be a similar wing, housing the seventh and eighth grades, now at the North Main Street school, as well as shops for manual training, and kitchen and sewing rooms for domestic science. W hen this is realized the city of Harrodsburg will have done generously by the children so far as material considerations are involved. Papre seven
