OUR SCHOOL Manlius Township High School is an institution of which alumni, students, and patrons have justifiable reason to feel proud. The school was organized in 1914 although the east wing of the building was not built until 1920 and the gymnasium until 1931. As an institution, M. T. H. S. is fully accredited by the State Department of Public Instruction and the University of Illinois. This means that graduates of this school may enter college and universities, anywhere without entrance examinations or other restrictions. Graduates of this school who have gone to college have done very creditable work as shown by their present positions in life and by letters on file in the school records. Many graduates have gone directly from high school into successful careers. Manlius High School is meeting the challenge of the times by providing that which is most needed by its students. It is keeping abreast of modern methods of teaching, courses of study, and is supplying efficient instructional materials which are most conducive to learning. In addition to the formal techniques, within recent years, a special appeal has been made to two of the most keen of senses—that of hearing and sight. Facilities have been provided for the use of sound motion pictures and the radio. One of the most recent additions has been that of a recording mechanism by means of corrective instruction in the fields of speech and music is simplified and greatly improved. For another reason, 1941 is a banner year for Manlius High School as it marks the date of the payment of the last bond on the building which means that the district has no more bonded indebtedness. May credit be given those who are responsible for the organization, development, and improvement of the school during the 27 years of its existence. May its future be one of continued progress and achievement.
