mjr ' Hosennial v- » but postponed its erection because of the large increase in taxes. So partitions were built across the ends of the hallways, basement rooms were plastered and ficted up for use, but all to no avail. Finally even these makeshifts would no longer take care of the increasing student body. A site was purchased, with the thought of future needs of an ever growing city in mind, and the erection of a building was begun. The first of January it was ready for use. Nine thousand persons visited and inspected it the dav before the students began work there. Only words of praise and appreciation were heard from every one. This school is built on the unit plan and it consists now of the first two units. On Fourteenth Street the building is 180 feet long, on Walnut Street 256 feet long. It is well lighted, comfortably heated and ventilated, and all the furniture, scientific apparatus and industrial equipment are the best that could be secured. At present it will accommodate 800 students, all of whom can feel that no effort has been spared by the school management to give them the very best building and equipment possible for high school students. And it should be their ambition to be men and women worthy of this effort. We have seen the school of yesterday and of today. What of tomorrows? Already there are plans for the school of tomorrow that are no more of a fairy tale than the one we have seen unfolded. A unit is planned for Fifteenth Street equaling in every way the Fourteenth Street unit. South of this unit it is the hope, that a gymnasium may be constructed with possibly a large auditorium, with a cafeteria underneath. The fourth and last unit, necessary to complete this splendid structure would be the south unit, connecting the heating plant both on the east and west ends. With these additional units completed, from 1,200 to 1,500 students could be accommodated. It would not be fitting to close the account of the schools without stating that Mr. E. J. Llewelyn has been city superintendent for seven years and that his hopes are being realized for a high school that not only Newcastle but all Indiana can be proud of: and he and Mr. Valentine, the principal, and the splen- did high school faculty are devoting their lives to giving the young people of New Castle every opportunity to fit themselves for places of trust and honor in the community.
