New Cumberland High School garbed in a month of SHOW . . having undergone several important changes since it was built in 1928, your school now has the vital facilities made possible through conscientious planning and saving. The original building contained only the 12 rooms which surround the gymnasium. The music room, equipped with a small stage, was added in 1935g the Northwest three-room addition in 19385 the Southeast office- shop addition in 1940. To complete the plan, the large modern ba11d room was built in 1948. lt has replaced the use of the music room as the center of chorus, band, and orchestra rehearsals. It contains storage space for band uniforms and instruments and several sound- proof practice rooms. The building now contains 18 classrooms not including the library and locker room facilities. The center of most of the extra-curricular activities is the combined auditorium and gymnasium which seats 850 persons. Here the students take part in physical education, intramurals, class plays, assemblies, and numerous other activities throughout the year. The Drayer Library filled to capacity with 4,755 books supplies the students with a varied, informative source of reading and research material for all phases of school work. Each month approximately 48 periodicals are purchased. Busy and overcrowded, the library hopes to provide added advantages in its future quarters in room 5. The home economics department is now far advanced from its method of operation in its early years. Until 1935 it was operated through the County home economics head. It has grown to be a modern, well-equipped sewing and home- making department which supervises the practice teaching of two Penn State student teachers annually. The shop department contains complete facilities for woodwork which is the basic course offered. Electricity and mechanical drawing are designed for more advanced students. Work in metals and plas- tics, comparatively new mediums in the N. C. H. S. shops, has been received with avid interest. The science department has developed also. It has facilities for photography, audio-visual education, and a complete physics and chemistry laboratory under the supervision of Mr. John Smeltz. The proposed junior high school building whose construction is scheduled to begin in June, 1951 will contain 20 rooms. Included will be such special rooms as science and home economics, an agriculture shop, a general shop, a large gymnasium that can be divided into two separate parts for class work, an auditorium seating 1,000, and a cafeteria, From the inside out . . the camera man looks out on a typical scene in which New Cumberland high school students are congregating before the stately entrance. VVhether it be autumn, winter, or spring, students gather in groups to talk over such traditional happenings as football games, and proms, current happenings including report cards, mid-year exams, and issues of the TIMES. These and many other memories will always linger in our minds.
