NOTTINGHAM'S REBIRTH This is my story and an important one, for I'm expensive, useful, and at- tractive. I happen to be a high school, acenter of learning for the thirteen hun- dred students who attend my classes five days a week. Many people have been talking about me for the last ten years, even before the final plans for my construction were drawn. In all this time I've never had an opportunity to do any of my own talking, so I asked the editor of this book if I could not tell some of my visitors what I've been thinking. He agreed and here I go. First, I'd better introduce myself. I'm William Nottingham High School, of 3100 East Genesee Street, in Syracuse. New York. But for convenience sake. just call me Bill. Back in 1924 another school was built and given the very same name as mine. It was a three-story structure and soon became covered with ivy and filled with traditions. It saw hundreds of youngsters enter and pass through the halls, each going out into the world. After twenty years had passed, many of the Syracuse townsfolk began to talk about the school. They noted that al- though it was adequate for the time, it just would not suit the demands of future years. There were those who were not in favor of a new school. You know the type . . . What is good enough for Grandma, etc. But they were out- voted so, in 1950, the Board of Educa- tion met and announced a wonderful thing. I, Bill Nottingham, Ir., was about to be born. Early in November, all sorts of digni- taries gathered to watch Mr. Kane. principal of Nottingham, force a gold- plated shovel into the ground and thus turn over the first spadeful of earth. Then the parade started. Workmen of every description came to move the ground on which I stand. Others came to push it back. Then there were car- penters, plumbers, masons, contractors, and even a supervisor of the coffee tap. My budget was jumped, and a good thing too. Otherwise I would only have one floor. People came from every- where to see me, but not nearly so many as when I was finished. On Fel- lows Avenue, yearbooks echoed their eulogies as to how it felt to be the last graduating class. The dimly painted walls were retouched and my future instructors packed their possessions to start life anew under my domain. In the Spring of 1953 I got my first glimpse of what the students would look like, and a motley lot they were. A group of prospective seniors, who were to guide traffic through my halls toured the building. You should have seen their eyes when they saw my auditorium, my gymnasium, and my swimming pool. As a matter of fact, I'm still looking for the last item. The con- tractors hid the pool so well that I haven't been able to locate it yet. Sum- mer soon came along and seed began to grow into grass on my front lawn. Driveways were constructed and doors were finally put on their hinges. Don't laugh! You can't realize how chilly it was during some of those nights, heat wave or no heat wave. Finally, the preparations were com- pleted so that on September 14, 1953, I opened my doors to greet the students of the New William Nottingham High .. 4 . . it .ZF I 'Ill K . ., ,
