Ellsworth, and M. E. Brandon. Mr. Beeson and Mr. Hutchinson were here for short periods about this time. In 1921, we tore up the olace pretty badly. We rearranged the stairways, tore out and put in partitions. Rooms for new departments of Agriculture and Economics were added. The science were, given more space because the dents were taking a new interest in kind of work. Most of the second of the new part became the assembly Home rooms stu- this floor as it is today. I don't need to tell you that the Superintendent's office was moved in right next door. Handy, you say? The library was dignified by giving it a room of its own. A few shelves placed along the west wall of the present typing room gave us more room than books. It was not long until we were able to establish the School-State library. This is as you have it today, we were very proud of it. For a small school there is no better. One of the most obvious changes has been our progress in music. what we hear today puts our efforts of about 1921 to shame. Our choral work of this earlier period was indeed voluminous, but it came from the heart and we liked it. We next tried a sort of Wcircuit-rider music teacher.H He came to Holgate two days a week. This was better. The boost given our interest in music has never left.u5, we arg Still going strong. Our band and choral clubs are a delight to us when we are permitted to hear them at community gatherings. Through the years, we have taken cur full share of the honors offered in the different district contests. Are you ready for the next one? We have always offered Commercial Arithmetic and Book- keeping in our curriculum. Our course has been greatly broadened and today a student can go directly from our commer- cial department into a very good position at a very satisfactory salary. The report reports of their continued success is very gratifying. Our representatives in the yearly contests have won much honor for themselves--then in turn, for the school. M. E. Brandon, B. M. Rutter, and J. C. Rudolph were the men who helped us realize the good that resulted from this advancement. The next period in our history was most far-reaching. It affected all equally--high school and grades alike. The new wing built to the soutf, housed a well equipped sewing room, a new Home Economics room with kitchen facilities . rv that now serve our very popular cafeter- ia. An average of four hundred lunches is served each day. Here also- may have been found the new Agriculture room with its correlated shops, which soon spread its influence out into the surrounding farm areas of our school district. 'The Gym-Auditorium was the answer to the prayers of everyone. It has become -the meeting place of all organizations, whether church, business, or schooL Here even the smallest children can enjoy scheduled play periods under the direc- tion of the teacher. There was no intended disrespect to the old NCity Halln when we turned from its creaking stairs, its swaying floor, its bulging walls with so little reluctancy. The glassless windows that admitted the cold blasts into the WPersonaeH of our theatrical efforts did their strutting. Do you have the answer to these two ques- tions? ' Why are the school plays better today? Why has our basket-ball team won state recognition? If one listens, he will soon realize that the music room was placed just back and across the hall from the Gym. To an untrained ear, mere noise Cplenty of itj seems to issue from this rcom. Later, however, when we hear the finished prod- uct, we know what has been going on te- hind the closed lthanksl doors of this practice quarters. Go ,Aheadl Make more noise, we are sure that the result will be equally pleasing. The second floor of this new wing was set aside as labora- tories, with necessary storage space. In our crowded condition, regular classes have been meeting here also. Mr.Brlndon and Mr. Rudolph piloted us through this season of expansion. Just this Fall we invited the public in to help dedicate our latest addition. The crowd was very enthusiastic for they were looking at the results of their own cooperation and sacrifice. The money re- quired for this improvement had been raised and the plan completed before Mr. Rudolph resigned. lr. Gieler took over and very ably carried the building to its completion. The change in our economic life makes it necessary for the school to move along to keep abrease of the times. We have therefore introduced a new type of training for those who intend to enter industrial fields. This challenge is being carried on in our vocational classes under the direction of Bob Cole.
