Not until we saw it wrecked, and we were compelled to attend school elsewhere, did we fully realize what M. H. S. meant to us. October 23, 1954, a cyclone swept through a section of Maryville. As the High School was in its path, the north and south wings of the building were badly wrecked. Windows were broken, rain and dirt were blown into many rooms, bricks were scattered everywhere, and part of the structure was weakened. On the campus trees were damaged, and the tennis court, gift of the.l935 class, which was near- ing compeltion was ruined. The stornmcaused turmoil and anxiety. The plans which had'been made'fDr the year's program were necessarily altered. During the following sum er the building was redecorated, and the campus was c1eared.A fn September when the stately building bade us a hearty welcome we were anxious to return. WOld Gloryn was waving happily from the top of the flag pole which was the gift of the 1923 graduating class. The campus had a well-kept appearfnce and the sidewalks, lead invitingly to the doorsi The light posts, gift of the May class of 1928-293 guarded the front of the building. AS we hurried up the steps, we surely did not neglect'to notice the new doors constructed to replace the old ones which were demolished by the storm. The walls were newly painted.d The corridors were fairly shining with cleanliness? and a new coat of varnish. The SuperintondentYs and Principal'c offices were rearranged. ANot only was the building entirely redecorated, but reinforced beams which insured greater safety were inserted and much of the structure had been rebuilt. There were oven some new improvements such as the vestibule leading to the gymnasium at the north door of the building and an entrance to the basement on the southeast corner. The gym was repainted and waxed. On one side'hung'our school motto which was the gift of the 1924 classy and a new electric scoreboard was installed. The scoreboard was presented to the school by the 1955 class. 'u , 4. l.' Throughout the building pictures adorn the walls.
