Q15 I-I. I. S. Main- l9I5 The Fanny B. Hershey Memorial Building, erected in 1927, is a fine grade-school building with nine rooms, an auditorium, gymnasium, and swimming pool. When the boys were ofjunior high school age they were sent to the Hershey public school. Now, since the erection of the junior-senior high school building of our own, when the boys finish fifth grade they are sent up to Patt's Hill where they complete their education in one of the most beautiful high schools in the country, and certainly the most beautiful high school for the education of homeless boys. Achievement! A new school hospital was opened in 1933. It is situated near the old Homestead. This latest achievement on the part of The Hershey Industrial School and Mr. Hershey is typical of the forwardness of the school. Always moving on - pro- gressing. H. I. S. Main -- 1939 Fifteen

In the classroom - I9 I5 In the early years of the school, from 19o9 to 1911, the members of the school lived in the home ofour first and beloved superintendent, Mr. George Copenhaver. Today this building is affectionately known as the Homestead. In 1911 the Main was opened. Buena Vista Farm Unit was finished in 1916. In 1919, to take care ofthe Io6 boys who were then in H. I. S., Ivanhoe was opened. Thus the school constantly grew. Three new departments were added in 1926. The growth of the departments and farms was steady, and finally, in 1938, there were forty farm units and ten departments. Progress! The first teacher that the early students of The Hershey Industrial School had was Mr. Copenhaver Che was also school barberj. He taught the boys in the first class room ofthe school, which is now the Main Office ofthe Homestead. When the number of students reached 24,they were taught in a new class room in a building next to the Main. However, because of the great and rapid growth of the school, Mr. Copenhaver soon had to give up his teaching for the other activities which had now come upon him. Advancement!
