M jjtouagy jjtezienzf V The educational institution of Menasha offers a cinating history. Ever progressive, Menasha founded one of the first schools in the state. Its faculty of two and a handful of students grew with such rapidity that a larger building was necessary. So, 64 years ago, M.H.S. was established, with its dirty kerosene lamps and enormous wood stove. Then came 1896 and Menasha's pride and joy, the great brick structure which was to honor thirty- nine graduating classes before being reduced to ashes by the fire of March 21, 1936. For almost two years, classes were held cafeteria style. In january 1938, a thankful student body moved into this beautiful, modern building. Pioneering is noble-and very productive. up Q... fi. it ,rf 1 uarfwrt . 'gf n seei- li

This past year, the board has been especially concerned with those arising about the new school. There are remedies needed, new equipment to be installed, the making and accepting of plans for the landscaping and the development of the field back of the school, which will be used in giving Menasha High one of the most complete athletic pro- grams in the state. We students feel that our board has attacked these problems with remarkable courage and deliberation which is necessary when so much is at stake. E163
