Forefwor .. . . OUR NEW BUILDING Our new building has many advantages over the old buildings. Some of these are that it is safer, more sanitary, more convenient, and far more beautiful. The building is constructed of brick, concrete, tile, and steel, all fire-proof materials. It has four exits, it has two stairways from the basement and the second floor. The wide halls are equipped with fire doors with panic bolts. The danger of accidents while load- ing and unloading pupils has been reduced by loading from the rear of the building in- stead of on the street. Sight-saving may be said to be the motto of this building. The wide windows afford good natural light, and on dark days. the rooms are lighted by 300-watt bulbs in semi- direct light fixtures. The windows are equipped with double-roll shades to admit the ligh-t from either below or above. A modern ventilating system provides a plentiful supply of fresh air at all times. The drinking fountains are the new side-flow type, which prevents waste water from returning to the fountains. A recreation room provides a place to play in bad weather, and a first-aid room, a place to care for ill or injured children. Sanitary washrooms and a modern heating system are great assets to the sani- tation and health conditions of the school. The location of this building near the high school is far more convenient for Mr. Morgan and the music and art supervisors in doing their work and also makes it possible for the grade children to have the use of the large playground and gymnasium at the high school. Housing all the grades under one roof makes possible a more unified school program and provides broader social contacts for the pupils. Pupils also have more ready access to the Public Library. They will have the advantages of visual education because of the installation of electric outlets. In planning all these advantages, beauty has not been disregarded. The pleasing exterior of buff brick with stone trim harmonizes well with the colors of the high school building. The terraza entrance, facing Main Street, is beautiful. On the inside the hardwood floors, fir panel doors, white sand plaster walls, green, buff and brown woodwork, glazed tile wainscoting, and attfactive, well-lighted halls are equally elegant. Because of all these advantages we are justly proud of our new building and award it this place of honor in the 1940 Indianian. ..4..
