I II E9 IP A. Rp .[ g 3 I 5$. 1 1 History of New School Building Along the north side of East Main street was a stretch of unused land as re- cent as 1917. This land was depressed a few feet beneath the level of the silewalk and street surface and when this land was adjacent to the idewalk, there was quite an abrupt slope. This area, which was heavily sodded with old grass and swampy in some places was decided to be the site of our present school house. Work was commenced in August 1917 and the build- ing was ready for school in the fall of 1919. Our class entered the third grade of the new school building that autumn. A few interruptions took place as the work- men were busy completing the wonderful structure. It would be a waste of time to mention the many things that were not quite complete but the point is to show that it was some different than now and you may guess we took every opportunity we could find to amuse ourselves with the var- ious temporary situations. However, it must be remembered that each day saw some im- provement until now— Situated on East Main street is a $100,- 000 building, one of the finest in the coun- ty, manifesting the interest of this commu- nity in the welfare of their young people. The surrounding school grounds comprises eight acres and is devoted to athletic fields, lands for commodious play and a large level lawn. An artistic stone gateway is at the entrance and shrubbery on various parts of the grounds promise additional landscape joy in the coming years. The building itself consists of a base- ment in which is a gymnasium, shower room, manual training room equipped with one table and set of tools for each member of the class, while there is also an extra set of special tools, furnace and pump rooms two lavatories, domestic science room, which has ten tables and a gas stove for each table and a cafeteria. On the first floor are six grade rooms, rest room, auditorium and art teacher’s of- fice. On the second floor arc two grade rooms, three high school rooms, sewing room, superintedent's office, a large study hall, li- brary and physics laboratory. Drinking foun- tains and teachers’ lavatories are located on each floor and the building is lighted throughout with electricity. May the beautiful building be dedica- ted to the ages and ever produce noble young men and women to take their part in this world of affairs and with the classes gone by, bring great honor to—“The Yellow and the Black.” —J.
