2 J , 4 1,1 x., jd .V 41 I F Thirty-six years ago Marshfield distinguished itself by erecting a very modern structure which was called McKinley High School. Proud were the citizens whose efforts and money made this possible, for it was indeed one of the finest schools in central Wisconsin. Its very location, because at that time but few homes were close to it, seemed to set it apart as an institution around which the future Marshfield might develop and grow. In the intervening years hundreds of students received their high school training within its walls, until it became known as Old McKinley to a majority of the citizens of Marshfield. It nurtured ambition, hope, and fond expectations for hundreds who today take their place in every known field of endeavor. When on October thirteenth, nineteen thirty-six, a fire destroyed Mc- Kinley High School, thousands of us stood by silently and watched a spectacle which recalled youthful memories and made emotions tug at our very heart strings, for a friend-a very dear friend-was passing before our very eyes. And yet memories and the spirit of McKinley will live on with us, for a sadness gripped our hearts. Glenn D. Tinkham 4
