THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE HOPED FOE FUTURE Several years ago the North Manehester school board began to look forward to better educational facilities for the children committed to their care. A new building Avas the plan. Their hopes rose and fell, meeting obstacles, and crossing rivers, falling in some and down over others. The school lost its standing in the North Central Association and then high school commission. Then real movements were started. The present board consisting of Mr. Isaac Oppenheim, president, Mr. Ira Mummert, treasurer, and Mr. J. H. Miller, secretary began in earnest to build upon the foundation layed by their prede- cessors. They employed Mr. Weatherhogg, as architect and Mr. M. P. Hodges, as contractor and in a few months erected one of the most beautiful buildings that can be found anj ' where. The building is principally In-ick finished in gum and stained like the palace of any king. There are five rooms in the administrative section. The first office is that of the Superintendent with files and next the clerks office with book shelves, safe, files and all supplies needed and adjoining this is the office of the high school principal equipped with modern files and a large Seth Thomas electric clock which is the master clock governing all the secondary clocks as well as ringing all program bells. There are two rooms ov offices for the nurse and one rest room. The Science department is complete in every way. There are three rooms, including one Chemistrj- laboratory, one class and demonstration room and one phj ' sics laboratory. There are four rooms in the domestic science department including one complete cooking laboratory with six gas stoves and sinks with hot and cold water and modern cooking tables and one laundry room with four built in tubs with all modern conveniences. There are four rooms in the manual training department, one shop, one paint room, one recitation room and one office. In fact there is every modern convenience, including commercial department, fire proof moving picture booth with machine, fine library now reaching a very high standard, and maps and many other pieces of apparatus, to advance the academic life of the children. The play and entertainment side has not been over looked. We have a fine Auditorium completely fire proof, with a seating capacity of 750. The stage is one of the largest to be found. The beautiful velour curtains and stage fit- tings give a rich and beautiful setting. 9 A loud voice bespeaks a vulgar man

The stage is the gymnasium. The size is 71 ft. long, . )4: ft. wide and 22 feet higli. Our basket ball fans sit in comfortable seats and watch with pleasure a game staged like some great drama. The gymnasium is equipped with all the modern apparatus such as climbing ropes, traveling rings, dumbells, Indian clubs, wands, parallel bars, A ' olley ball standards, and nets, basket ball, and base ball plans and equipment. The large play ground and tennis courts out side give ample opportunity for the out-door fun. Our school is organized on the supervised study plan ; each pupil studying under the supervision of his teacher. The classes are organized on very high standards. No student is eligible to hold office unless he has a class standing of 80% or above. No motions of importance are passed with out the ma.iority vote of all en- rolled in the class. The classes this year in consultation with the Superintendent and princi- pal called a designer to make and submit bids for a school design. The front entrance of the building was made into a beautiful design and placed on rings and pins. This has been adopted as a standard North Man- chester high school design for pins and rings. We trust we are not boasting by giving you a complete description of our plant and its workings, but we do want you all to Imow that we are proud of the wonderful school plant you have so generously given to ns. Let us hope that all future classes who have the pleasure of using it will make the best of their opportunities and leave it as better citizens and better able to meet the problems of life. The Sexior Class. 10 Zeal without knowledge is the sister of folly
