OUR SCHOCDL r THIS This building was erected in 1936 asa WPA fworks Progress Administrationj project. With the erection of this building came the first basketball games which were played within the walls of our school. For the b i o l o gy and chemistry classes, separate classrooms with special equipment were included. The MJHS band, which was originally organized in 1936, and the mixed chorus now hold regular practices on the stage of the au di to r iu m . This a u d i to r i u m provides a site for many high school dances, P.T.A. programs and assemblies. A physi- cal education program, which MJHS had never been able to participate in previously, was added to the curriculum of the s tude nt s of 1937, who were the first to graduate from this structure. Although you seniors of '59 will not have attended any classes in the school building pictured below, you will be granted the privilege of being the first class to graduate from within its halls. For the benefit of all the students who will have classes in this new, u ltramodern school in years to come, these are some of the modern physical facilities which will be available for their use: four separate s c ie nc e rooms Cphysics, chemistry, biology and general science! which will furnish additional labo- ratory equipment not found in our present high school. In addition to this, there will be a separate auditorium and gymnasium. The auditorium will have permanent seats and will have a seating ca- pacity of 800. In addition to other special depart- ments, there will also be a music room for the use of the band and chorus. As you travel along 1ife's highway a.nd enter the new phase of living with which you are now being faced, we hope that the fond memories of these brick buildings will remain with you. T0 THAT!
