Cla, ifi. f f . . Z f.. , x 275 A fag!! Vvjg A Reflections as of Forty Years 1897 E 1937 QNNJ 1897 MOMENTOUS decision has been made, and during the last year, l.a Salle and Peru Townships have been erecting a new terra cotta high school at the corner of Fifth and Charter Streets in l.a Salle. Very impressive is the clock tower which faces the Fifth Street side. We citizens agree that we will have a school of which we can speak with pride. It nothing comes of the General Weyler insurrection in Cuba and war with Spain is not declared, there will probably be more than two hundred students to give headaches to six teachers and Superin- tendent Brooks who will take charge in September. Students are excited by the Spanish situation in Cuba, and some of the more venturesome will volunteer their services if war is declared. Does Spain realize that a large or small attendance at La Salle-Peru l ligh rests on her shoulders? 1907 Even though l.a Salle and Peru Townships are suffering from the worst panic since 1893, we have rallied enough to hire fifteen teachers besides Superintendent McCormack to take charge of the three hundred students who are attending this growing institution. New courses in Manual Training and Domestic Science have been added to the curriculum, and are becoming more popular every year. This is especially true since the Manual Training Building was constructed and equipped. Probably the most appreciated addition to the flourishing school is the lunch room which was established at the be- ginning of the second semester. Miss Josie Griffin, who was placed in charge, has become a popular figure, for everyone hails the person who helps satisfy hungry craving that comes to us at about twelve 1917 With bands playing, and student soldiers drilling, l.a Salle-Peru certainly looks like a military camp. Young soldiers proudly display their new uniforms to the envious students who were unable to join the army. L-P. grads,who have been called to the colors, are bidding good-bye to their friends before they leave for Hover there. Girls do their bit by knitting sweaters and socks for the soldiers to wear. All join in singing Beautiful Katiefx Long, Long -frail,'l and ulfeep the Home Fires Burning. Though the real import of the dangers our sons are to suffer has not yet come, we all know that the drilling, singing, knitting, and saying good-byes won't be over 'til its over, over there. . 1927 Pros erity has cast a favorable eye on La Salle and Peru Townships. Factories and the Western Clock Hgollegen are calling the students from the preliminary process of education to the great prob- lems of earning a living. Because of this boom of prosperity only six hundred students are attending EII Pe this year although the faculty membership has risen to thirty-two all of whom are competent to teach these young industrious students. Along with the boom of industries has come a benefit to education in the shape of a new building now being erected for a' junior college and high school. The Matthiessen Memorial Auditorium which will be a section of the new school is beginning to come into view. Dimmer and dimmer fade the mem- ories ofthe old Manual Training Building which at one time occupied the site where the New Building is now being erected. o'clock. . 1937 The tax payers empowered the Board of Education to take advantage of the financial aid offered by the Federal Government through Public Works Administration in order to erect a new edifice to take the place of the old, condemned Main Building. Now the work is almost completed and the stu- dents go from one class to another through spacious, newly-painted halls. However the pride and joy of all is the magnificent McCormack Memorial Library which is situated in about the center of the build- ing. We all desire to use this pleasant room as a study. Another room we all take pride in is the new modernistic cafeteria and study hall combined. With the new building, new stadium, athletic field, and new powerhouse. Ell Pe High is so changed that few believe the splendor we see is really ours. La Salle-Peru Township High School La Salle-Peru, lllinois
