The present high school building is overcrowded, and conditions indicate an ever larger enrollment, therefore, we are to have a new high school, the finest, most modern that our board of education, our administrators, and our teachers can devise. The architect's con- ception of the new building makes us eager for the day when it will be a reality. THE ELE ln l9l7, the citizens of Rocky River saw the completion of the present high school building. Proud of its shining corridors and its well equipped class rooms, even the most far-sighted could not anticipate the rapid growth of the school population which, in i924 and again in I939, necessitated the addition of new wings to the building. Now, in l946, no longer adequate to care for the expanding needs of its occupants, the old building must give way to the new. But in the affections of the classes which have called it Alma Mater, the old building can never be replaced.
