T' History of Owr New School The site for our new high school was purchased of Mr. Anders Rasmussen for Sl0,000. It was formerly covered by immense woolen and cotton mills. To get the necessary frontage two lots adjoining were purchased for 37.500 and the adjoining mansion on these lots was rc- moved. This gave the schools a plot of 72 acres. To secure the necessary funds for an adequate school building, the School City bonded itself for S250,000, and the Civil City to the extent of S350.000. Citizens and alumni organized the N. A. H. S. Gymnasium Corporation and secured a fund of 875,000 for the gymnasium portion of the proposed building. Credit should be given at this time to those members of the gym committee who worked so faithfully in the bond campaign to get funds for our new play-floor. They are Messrs. J. B. NVilliamson. Joseph Krementz. Ed. Leaf. Sam Walts, Stanley Warner, and Frank McCulloch. Finally the building was completed and stood in all its elegant details ready for equipment and furniture. The trustees decided that a thorough equipment should be placed in the new high school. An expenditure of 375,000 brought this about. Thus our new home has cost S392.500. Our athletic grounds and gym are second to none in the State. These stand as a monument to the devotion of our fellow citizens to the cause of education and to the splendid co-operation of all organiza- tions and individuals in making this splendid gift to us and our fellow students. We will occupy it but for a portion of our Senior year, and our mem- ories will cluster most intensely around our former home, but we will feel a proper pride in being the first graduating class of the new high school. Following are some of the interior and exterior views of our new high school. Six loo C
