The Board of Education □ President...............Charles Schmidt Secretary..................Stacy Hewitt Members E. C. Olson, John Edlefson, W. C. Raabe (Claude Barber is now a member, having been elected to replace Mr. Olson who was not a candidate for reelection.) The graduating class of '38 has been quite fortunate in having the same men on the Board of Education throughout their four years of High School life. W. C. Raabe, the most recently elected member of the board has served for five years and the terms of the others range from seven to twelve years. These capable men represent a cross section of life in Manlius Township, having among them, three farmers and two operators of garages and automobile agencies. Since almost everyone knows these men, no effort will be made to list their many personal achievements. Charles Schmidt, E. C. Olson, Stacy Hewitt and John Edlefson all took an active part in planning and promoting our new gymnasium back in ’31. Today we sometimes wonder how former students could manage in such a small building as the original one was. Although their task seems simple and easy to many, the school board has many troubles and trials. The students owe them a vote of appreciation for all their efforts in their behalf. In remembering Manlius High School, may we not forget the Board of Directors. Manlius Township High School □ Our high school is built in two sections connected by an enclosed hall. The east wing of the school is used for the classes and was built in 1920. This building has two floors in it and a basement. In this part there are ten class rooms including a well-equipped Physics laboratory; kitchen for Cooking classes; Clothing room equipped with electric sewing machines and electric irons; a room furnished with typewriters for the Business classes. The other rooms are used for recitation purposes. One of these rooms is not used for classes but is set aside for banquets or can be used as a workshop by the Farm Management Class. This room is also used for band practice if the gym is in use. Another room on the upper story is used for Chorus and for individual music lessons. Besides these classrooms, there is a large assembly with enough desks in it to accommodate 110 students. A hallway runs all along the south side of the assembly which faces east. A stairway from this hall leads to the main entrance. Two water fountains are situated in this hall, one at each end of the Assembly. The principal's office and two storerooms are also on this floor. A small room and the history room are at the east end of the assembly. The small room is used for printing the newspaper and for any other printing done in the school. At the back of the assembly are a bulletin board, a large library and the English room. The west half of the building contains a large gym built in 1931. It is equipped with modern showers, a stage, and a large gym floor. Two store-rooms on both sides are built at the main entrance. The trophy case is located near the main entrance. The bleachers extend along the south side of the gym. The basketball floor is 36 x 68, the second largest gym in the Little Eight Conference. The stage is on the north side with the two shower and dressing rooms on each side of it. The many banners won by the teams from Manlius are hung on the north wall. This summary covers briefly the physical make-up of Manlius Township High School of which are students are justly proud.
