HISTORY OF SANDWICH TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 1921-1929 In 1921 the doors of the new high school swung open to admit a group of knowledge seeking students. These doors were doors of golden opportunity. The house, a house in which to lay the foundation of a life's work. From this school would spring the law-makers, the people who would hold a part of the nation’s destiny in their hands. The school building itself is a three-story brick structure made as nearly as possible fireproof. At one end is the gymnasium with seats for about 900 and a playing floor 72 by 35 feet. At the other end is an auditorium with seats for 540 and a stage which makes possible weekly assemblies, numerous beautiful pageants, plays, and programs of various kinds. This building was dedicated on Thursday, September 29, 1922, at 2:00 o’clock. The following was the program of the day: SONG America INVOCATION Rev. A. V. Wood, Pastor of Federated Church LADIES’ DOUBLE QUARTETTE—HEY HO! PRETTY MAID Walker Mesdames Mosher, Woodward, Kern, Ogilvie and Misses Adams, Newton, Kern and Hudgens REMARKS A. E. Woodward, President of Board of Education SONG .............................................. Battle Hymn of Republic ADDRESS Hon. Francis G. Blair, Superintendent of Public Instruction SANDWICH HIGH ALMA MATER SONG High School Chorus REMARKS John R. Cranor, Superintendent of Sandwich Township High School SONG . Star Spangled Banner With additions from other towns the number of students increased from 131 in 1920 to about 184 in 1921. This present year our attendance has dropped to around 170. This is due to the poor condition of the roads, for it is hard for the students from the surrounding towns to get there. Since 1921 there have been fourteen teachers for the fourteen newly equipped recitation rooms. There had been only nine teachers and five recitation rooms. Besides the fourteen regular teachers we have a music director; two physical education teachers; one for the boys and one for the girls; and a nurse. The music supervisor, the nurse, and the boys’ physical director and coach give their services to both the grades and high school. One of the high school graduates is the secretary in the office. Although many features still carry on in our new building such as class plays, pageants, Ag.” banquets, the band, athletic meets and banquets, and the annual, there are two new features, the X-Ray and the weekly assemblies. Our new building also provides a well-equipped manual training department, home economics, a room for mechanical drawing, and a first-class cafeteria. There is also a fine reading room and library supplied with the best magazines and about 800 volumes for reference work. Each student is given a locker for his wraps and books, and the Gym” is provided with locker rooms and showers for both boys and girls. In the main corridor is a large electric clock—operating all class bells. A fine athletic field adjoins the south campus; at the east arc tennis courts. A Little Ten Conference has started which exists in Basketball, Public Speaking, Singing, and Debating. Public Speaking and Debating have been brought up within the last two years and gratifying work has been done in these fields. With all these things Sandwich Township High School has made a history to be proud of and one which will live on down through the years. It has not been a startling history, going by jerks, but one which has gone on resolute!)’ and strongly. Also our pupils have reached honor and fame, and may they continue to do so. Ten
