4 Suvefmtend ent P- C' Emm OYX5 1n August, 1921, our presently retiring superin- tendent, Mr. P. C. Emmons, came to take over the Mishawaka city schools, which have grown and prospered greatly since that time. 'The meeting will please come to order probably opened a board meeting which 're- sulted in the construction of a new high school on a site which was practically open country. From 1911, when the high school numbered 158 students, the high school enrollment had grown to 415 in 1921, and Mr. Emmons believed there were signs pointing to a growth of several hun- dred students within the next year or two. The problem had to be met. After a series of con- ferences with school board members and city officials, not all of whom saw the signs, the contract was let to Perkins, Fellows, and Hamil- ton, a splendid firm of architects in Chicago. When school opened in the beautiful new building, in the fall of 1924, there were 28 teachers. ln 1921 there were only 15 teachersg four vocational teachers, one physical education teacherfa woman, and ten academic teachers. In 1925 the cafeteria began to function and the auditorium was complete with sound- proofing. The auditorium was built to seat about 1,200 persons, because it was meant to serve the community as well as the school. Although it was practically unheard of at that time, quarters were set aside for a school book store in which rental books have since found an important place. ln the opinion of many of the townspeople, the gymnasium was far too large. They were certain that the enrollment would never grow up to it. They could not foresee the girls clamoring for a gym of their own or the sectional tourna- ment being moved to lohn Adams. -,,4.
