8 Piedmont High School On May the seventeenth, 1911, the last day of commencement, after an inspiring address by Hon. T. W. Bickett, Major H. F. Schenck, President of the Board of Trustees, presented the needs of the School to the audience, and asked for five thousv and dollars to pay off the existing indebtedness, to paint the buildings and to install water-works. A wave of enthusiasm, such as is seldom seen when the people are asked for money, passed over the audience. Wealthy men, boys and girls working their way through school, women and children, all caught the spirit of the hour. More than six thous¬ and dollars was raised. The thanks of the school are due to the friends of the institution whose loyalty and liberality have made it possible for us to take another step forward in the march of progress. Piedmont is not dead. PIEDMONT IS NO LONG¬ ER IN ITS infancy. PIEDMONT IS NOTAN EXPERI¬ MENT. From small beginnings, through toil and sacrifice, it has ripened in efficiency till it is now generally recognized as one of the strongest prepara¬ tory schools in the State. It has seventeen years of steady growth behind it, a large patronage and many friends in the present, and glorious possibilities for the future. Our water cannot be surpassed. At a distance of about a quarter of a mile from the school build¬ ings is a fine, large spring of pure, sparkling water, affording more than twelve gallons per minute. This water is piped to us by means of an electric pump. A tank of fifteen thousand gallons capacity, stand¬ ing on a steel tower more than fifty feet high, gives us the best means of fighting fire. With this and with electric lights, with no danger of exploding lamps nor deadly fumes of gas in our dormitories, with build ¬ ings of only two stories in front, we feel that ve have less to fear from fire than ever before.
