New Addition Dedicated 0For a number of years the Board of Education and the citizens of Monmouth have realized the crowded conditions that prevailed in Monmouth high school. Thereafter a great deal of discussion and preliminary planning occurred prior to when the structure was actually started. On August 13, 1938 notice was received that the federal government had allocated 45 per cent of the construction costs or S106,360 for the purpose of making addi- tions and alterations to the Monmouth high school building. A bond issue was pre- sented to the citizens of Monmouth on the question of authorizing the remaining amount of money. This bond received a favorable vote something more than four to one. Bids were opened to contractors and on October 10 the general contract was awarded to Pere Anderson and Company of Chicago for the sum of S215,000. When this new building was completed, naturally the townspeople were eager to view the new educational facilities. A dedicational program was planned during which time 1,686 visitors were taken on a tour of the building. The address was given by A. W. Cleavenger, University of Illinois, high school visitor. Other speakers included C. S. Peacock, president of the school boardg Roy Fetherston, superinten- dent of the public schoolsg and Dean Cleland of Monmouth college. City Attorney E. P. Fields spoke in behalf of Mayor Earl McKinnon. Preceding the dedication speaking program, 45 members of the high school band played three numbers. Miss Ruth Yenerich, musical supervisor, sang a vocal selec- tion. COMPLIMENTS OF Illinois Bankers Life Assurance Company MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS
