' VIEWPOINT OF A STUDENT Have you ever stirred the embers in the fireplace in the evening, placed new wood on the irons, and let.yourself drift a- mong the future scenes portrayed through flames and smoke? . How long before Junior High will need a new and larger coat? One with more pockets too? Would it not be more economical just to get two new outfits one on the north side and the other on the south side of the school pop ulation dividing line, but where is the dividing line? At present it is Walnut Street. The present Ott site is an approximate cen- ter for the north Junior High. But what about these poc- kets? Well there should be two pockets in each coat for Domestic Science, two for General Science pockets' for Art, Music, A Gym- nasium, a cafeteria, an auditor- ium, and one for adequate play- grounds. and at regular Junior High Library. V Why a new suit? What about our present Junior High? It has forty-five modern rooms! No, on- ly thirty-one modern roomsg an auditorium--just one-third of an auditoriumg playground--only the street. Ai Gymnasium--none. A cafeteria--no just an unsuitable afterthought, why, it is so small that several hundred have to eat lunch in the auditorium everyday. What is theimaximum number hand- led by a Junior High, from' the standpoint of economy? A good guess would place it at say fif- FOR INDEPENDENCE FROM THE IN THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL teen hundred, you ask why? Well more than that number handled by a Junior High, allows so little opportunity for student leader- ship, for competitive dramatics and athletics. This number of students will furnish the requir ed number of special pupils for an orchestra, a band, art, dom- estic Science, and Industrial classes. An auditorium of this proportion will seat any commun- ity activityg a gymnasium in such a building could be used each hour of the school day. -4 A course of study for such an institution could be broaden- ed to meet the community needs. Larger playgrounds would be an aid to physical and social devel opment while the location of the buildings away from the busy in- dustrial center of the city would provide the safest insur- ance against accidents caused by , rapid traffic on crowded streets -4 The present- senior pupils and some of those in Junior High will perhaps have as one of their first propositions as vot- ers, the presention of a bond is sue for such a purpose. Ifi you have felt a need for convenience the Junior High School will af- ford, then it will be your great pleasure to help those who come after you to have bettcr.advant- ages than you have had, for they will have to meet the competit- ion in business your experiences have already taught you.
