Of particularjnterest is the fact reproduced the article, somewhat shortened and complete with mis- that this building, which now uses approximately 1,300- ninth graders spellings, which announced the opening of classes in the brand new cost only S350,000 to construct. Further reading informed us th4atNovas Shasta Union High School building flfty years ago.

For the 9 o'clock gongs sounded for classes on the new building, and the 400 students were not going to miss anything that might happen on the first day after vacation and on the first day in a structure which houses about everything that anyone could wish for in the way of making the acquisition of education an easy and delightful task. Practically everything was in readiness for the beginning of work yesterday morning, but there are still a number of things to be completed and arranged, and it will be about two weeks before the work will be running smoothly again according to Principal Osborn. Locating classes took on the aspect of an indoor sport. The first hour was rather hectic, but schedules and directories were posted in the halls, and Prin- cipal Osborn was the court of last appeal. The fact that many of the class rooms lacked suf- ficient chairs to seat all the students reporting added much to the occasion. New High School Is Oc- cupiedg Raising Of Flag First Ceremony Outside of the formal raising of the flag, the morning session was as informal an affair as it is possible to be when there are 21 teachers keeping a vigilant eye on proceedings. In the presence of all the students, the faculty and a few visitors, Oliver Carter, presi- dent ofthe student body, raised the flag to the top of the beautiful new pole in front of the building. GR. Milford, president of the High School Board, spoke and J.O. Osborn, principal of the High School for the past 16 years, made a few remarks fitting the occa- sion. The gathering then sang The Star Spangled Banner. Music ln The Air The band room is at the top in the tower of the building and from a tiny door you can step out on the roof for an unsurpassed view of the entire county as far as one can see. The room is almost round and presents a medieval appearance with narrow admit- ting light filtered through the intricate ornaments which form a kind of shutter on the outside. The domed ceiling has been left in the rough showing the heavy timbers. Formal dedication of the S350,000 building will take place Sunday, November 20, under the auspices of the Native Sons of the Golden West. The grand parlor of the order will conduct services, and the dedicatory plate will be inserted in the place made for it in the floor ofthe portico, just before the central entrances.
