The building is now a good deal like it always has been, in size and shape, but not in quality. The cupola, built for the Conservatory, has been torn down for a long timeg and the porch was removed before 1908, because it was thought unsafe. The windows have been painted white, to keep the pupils' attention from wandering to the things outside. New sidewalks have been built, and other minor improvements have been madeg but, de- spite all improvements, the building has become very unsuitable for school purposes. The loose plastering is dangerous, the defective light and poor blackboards are injurious to the eyes: and the sanitary conditions are most unsatisfactory. In talking with Mr. Albert Neuman about the purchase of the structure by the Board, I remarked: 'ilt must have been in a very di- lapidated condition then. His emphatic reply was: It was much better then than it is now. It is apparent to all that the Rolla High School should be moved from this old dilapidated building to a larger and more suitable place. However, there are many of the old teachers and students who would be sorry to see the building torn down, abandoned, or used for base purposes. wFr0m a Thesis by Evelyn Fern Hunt, '14. fi' ef if-5: ri Ki- T- ' ls E- K. so xof l Q 4, ' d '-'- 2 :W 5' f J N s Y of f i 5: 'af' -ai' 3' N -ii l ff Al l: My iv' 1,,v.
