fj SOUTH VIEW Qymnasium W HEN school opened in September, 1928, there stood beside the high school, fac-ing 12th Street, a large gray building which thrilled the heart of every student. It was the new gymnasium, the long needed, long hoped for building, a dream come true. For years students had looked forward to a time when the school could have a place for athletics, for social meetings, for plays and could have physical education classes. In the fall of 1927 the school board outlined a plan by which it could be paid for without raising the taxes, a big thing to be considered by the voters. The whole school started boosting harder than ever for a gym. Soon the whole town was seething with rumors and talk about it. The slogan of the 1927 Field Day was, “We want a gym.” An edition of the McMinnvillan was devoted wholly to advertising the need of a gymnasium and telling how it could be obtained. At last the day to vote on the matter came, and the voters passed it by a vote of over 2 to 1. In the spring of 1928 before the school was out men came and began to dig the basement. The building was supposed to be ready for the opening of school in September, but was not quite finished. In a few weeks, however, it was ready for use and was dedicated. The building has a large basketball floor, a balcony, which seats 600 people, a large stage with dressing rooms above it, and a place in which a moving picture machine can be installed. In the basement are the boys’ and girls’ sections, containing basket rooms, lockers, showers and an office each for Miss Horton and Mr. Allison. There is also a playroom, which contains handball courts and mats for tumbling. Paste 14
