THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL AND jUNIOR COLLEGE BUILDING HE foregoing cut shows the general appearance of the new addition to the high school plant to occupy the site of the present manual train- ing building. The addition, which will extend on Chartres Street , from Fifth and Sixth and along Sixth Street west, will house the new Q A junior college, several high school departments and a ciyic auditorium. The new bu1ld1ngs were made possible by the splendid contribution l of four hundred thousand dollars by Mrs. Adele Nl. Blow and Mrs. a C. H. Matthiessen of LaSalle, and by the two hundred thousand dollar bond issue of the citizens of LaSalle, Peru, and Oglesby. The civic auditorium, which is shown at the right of the cut, will be the largest in the county, seating 1420 persons, and will enable concerts, dra- matic performances and conventions of all kinds to be held in the Tri-Cities. The stage of the auditorium will be wide and deep and will be equipped with all the appliances and devices of modern stage-craft. The -plans of the auditorium also include an organ loft. At the back of the stage will be a music room, where band and orchestra practices may be held, small musicales, lectures and entertainments given, and where the regular music classes will hold their sessions. All these departments will be supplied with appropriate facilities for the storage and pro- tection of musical instruments and musical literature. Both the auditorium and the music departments are so arranged that they can be easily shut off by sound- proof doors from the main building. The basement floor of the new building, as shown at the left of the cut, will house the manual- training and domestic arts departments. The second floor will contain the administrative offices, high school classrooms and a study hall. The upper story will house the junior college and the scientific laboratories. To the biology laboratory a green-house will be added. At the west of the corridor between the auditorium and the study hall and extending through two stories is the proposed future library, which will house the seven or eight thousand volumes constituting the school's collection of books. Over the band and orchestra room in the rear of the auditorium will be the arts and crafts department. The building, which will be fire-proof and as far as possible noise-proof, is to be built of red brick with conservative cut stone trimmings in the Tudor-Gothic style. It will present a pleasing appearance from all directions and approaches. The construction and equipment of the building have been carefully studied along the most modern lines of educational engineering. The heating, Ventilating, plumbing, and electrical wiring will be modern and provide a structure that is absolutely safe. The architects are the well-known flrm of Childs and Smith of Chicago, who have built school buildings at Ann Arbor and Jackson, Michigan: Sheboygan, Wisconsin, LaGrange, Illinoisg and other places, and who are advisory architects for the McKinloch Campus of Northwestern University, Chicago.. The plans for the new building which the Township Board of Education and the architect have evolved are based absolutely upon considerations of economy and efficiency for the future. The building is also planned as to form a unit and not offer any obstacles in the way of future additions for many years. When the old Township High School building is abandoned, and as the needs of the high school and junior college increase, the present building can be extended along Sixth Street to the athletic grounds and then south to Fifth Street, forming a quadrangle built on the same lines of construction and of the same materials. It is probable that the contracts for the new addition will be let early in the summer of IQ26 and it is possible that the auditorium will be finished by June, I927. 5
