Muscatine High School - Auroran Yearbook (Muscatine, IA)

Page 13 text:

Ered Messenger, principal of Muscatine High School, and A. A. John- son, superintendent of schools, may well be said to have been partners this year. Mr. Johnson has been busy attending to details that will make the school in readiness for next September, and Mr. Messenger has been mak- ing plans for administration in the new building. The students and faculty will need to make many changes to adapt themselves to new circumstances. Next year the students will hold their pep meetings in the gym and other assemblies in the auditorium. They will be required to take one hour of physical training a week. Mr. Messenger is already reorganizing the Student Council to fir the needs of the new study hall, which will seat more than twice as many as A-24 and operate in con- junction with the librarian and the teacher in charge of the study hall in the next room. Students will have access to open shelves of books around the library. XVhen the public address system is installed in the high school it will be possible to broadcast the bulletins, special announcements, and programs to each room. Another new feature for next year will be the public concert series. Three programs will be presented to the students during morning assemblies and to the public in evening concerts. Partners FRED G.

Planners The board members pictured above were making one of their many tours of the new school building. After securing a P. VV. A. grant for 4-5 per cent of the cost of the school, they put the question of granting the remaining funds to the people for a vote, which carried more than four to one. Before they received bids and awarded contracts for the general con- struction, the material, the plumbing, and the electric wiring, the board rearranged their plans for the building and made them definite. From time to time they had meetings concerning such problems as labor costs and types of materials to be used. The final plans provide that the building have two wings, with each room self-ventilated. Mastic floors reduce noise to a minimum in the chemistry laboratory, the library, and the first floor rooms. There is a gym which will seat 2500, an auditorium with a capacity of 1387, a cafeteria accommodating 200, and a study hall and library combination seating around 200. The building contains rooms for specialized activities such as music, art, publications, and dramatics. Uflicers of the Board of lfducation this year were Ray Dunker, presi- dent, August Altenbernd, vice-president, Paul Geibel, secretary, and Glenn Barnard, treasurer. ..g..
