OUR SCHOOL 1SS9 - 1937 For a half century our school building has served the educational needs of the youth of Delta Community. Today despite its age, it stands as one of the best equipped old school buildings in Northwestern Ohio. School buildings, like other material things,weaken and deteriorate with age and ultimately work the limit of their period of usefulness and safety. A tour through the building presents to the observer a multitude of undesirable and unsafe conditions. Being of wood and brick construction, the fire hazard is ever present. All rooms are not adequately equipped with fire escapes. Halls are narrow and congested with rows of individual lockers. The vocational departments are located in the basement, a situation contrary to modern standards of school building construction. We have no gymnasium or auditorium in connection with the building, which necessarily, seriously limits the entire school program of such desirable activities as sahool assemblies, dramatics, physical education, recreational activities during the noon period, and many others. Delta community needs a new school building. Its citizens are public spirited, progressive in their ideas and practices. They are interested in the future of their youth and the benefits of good educational facilities. It is our hope that the near future will bring a crystalization of thought and action that will make this hope a reality.
