ELL Ess PE The Social Center HE La Salle-Peru Township Social Center at La Salle, Illinois, was made possible by the munificence of the late F. W. Matthiessen of La Salle. The offer of a recreation building was made on the condition that the community would maintain it. In a special election the proposition was submitted to the voters of the township and was almost unanimously accepted. As a result, in 1914 a building was erected adjacent to the Township High School at the north and connected with it by a covered passage. At the same time the gymnasium on the round floor of the high school building was converted into a modern, commo ious auditorium, and the old High School structure in art remodelled and completely renovated. These reconstructions, which include a new central boiler house and heating plant, with new ventilating and humidifying apparatus, made necessary a total outlay of over S100,000 of which 525,000 was covered by a ublic bond issue. T e grounds on which the new building, athletic field, and playground stand were also donated by Mr. Matthiessen, who himself did much of the plan- ning. The athletic grounds were graded at Mr. Matthiessen's expense, and rep- resent' ossibly an additional outlay of some S25,000. Mr. Matthiessen gave origina l 5753000 for the erection of the Recreation Building and later donated further Kinds for an outdoor swimming dpool. This was followed by a sum of about 532,000 for the erection of an ad ition to the Recreation Building, and just before his death' by 540,000 for a second remodelling of the High School Building. The Township Board of Education also made considerable contribu- tions to the new enterprise, and the citizens donated money for the erection of a concrete stand on the athletic field costing 325,000 In 1930 several improvements were made inside and outside of the building. The swimming pool and room were painted, and a new chlorine tank was in- stalled. Several rooms were redecorated. The football field has been kept in excellent condition due to the fact that a sprinkling system was installed during the summer months. THE STAFF HOWARD FBLLOWS. . . . LESLIE HOENSCHEID. , .,..
