HREDEWEG W. H. GRUMMON E. HALBACH C. E. LANE Business Manager BOARD OF EDUCATION In promoting education, the Board of Education has promoted civic well-being and Quincy is indebted to them for their generous services. The greatest accomplishment of the Board and one of the chief interests of Mr. Steiner, aside from their regular duties has been in directing the construction of the new Senior High School which is rapidly nearing completion. This mammoth school building covers considerably more than a city block. The architecture is a modified Tudor Gothic. There are six stately entrances all trimmed with cut stone and terra cotta. The school is designed for two thousand pupils, but could accommodate three thousand and not be crowded. There are one hundred and eleven rooms for educa- tional uses, twenty-four for athletics, twelve for entertainment, four for refreshment, thirteen for administration and health, and forty-six for sanitary and storage uses. The new school plant is really three large buildings, all connected with con- venient corridors: the high school proper, the gymnasium, and the boiler house. The high school portion is rectangular in form with all classrooms receiving outside light. The large gymnasium is equipped with bleachers and apparatus storage. A mechanically operated folding partition divides the gymnasium into two complete sections, one for the boys and one for the girls. In the center of the high school proper is located the auditorium with its bowl- shaped floor and balcony. The stage at the West of the auditorium is large enough to accommodate all types of entertainments. All classrooms, shops, and laboratories are wholly above ground and all rooms have outside window lighting. This feature, plus synchronized program clocks, intercommunicating telephones, and radio connections make it an ultra-modern building. It is hoped to have the building completed and in use by the fall of 1933. of:-1:01034-1 1- 1 ix -3--asinn-,494'11-3--cumvxniip-11-1--14-3--1:-14,141in:V 1 iinxni.-:vin Eight ,-..g.

LOOKING AHEAD As this year celebrates the bicentennial of George Washington's birth, may the graduates of nineteen hundred and thirty-two be endowed with his un- ceasing adherence to truth, his sacred regard to public justice, his boundless faith in the future, his unswerving integrity, and his unselfish devo- tion to country. America today has need of patriots who are as willing to sacrifice as did their forefathers at Valley Forge. -W. E. Nelson -ning..-.-1. 11.14,-4,-.,-.01--1-in:--14-14-ini:-1 Seven
