is Q h vefeucew In 1931 the south wing was built, but on Sept. 15, 1931, the high school was gutted by fire. This new addition, with all its new class rooms and auditorium, had been used only one day. Classes were reorganized all over the city, using the city li- brary, the University, and elementary schools when they weren't in session. The school board approved a new building which was opened a year later, Sept. 17, 1952. The new school was soon busy with its regular program plus relief projects due to the depression. Enrollment increased rapidly as students could find no work in the community and the school offered many new, appealing vocational subjects. In 1940 the Toole property east of the school was purchased and a bond issue approved. Before the building was completed World XVar II broke out. Despite lack of equipment and hardships in obtaining supplies, another addition to MCI-IS was opened in 1942. Enrollment in the armed forces and families moving to war industry centers lowered the number of students atending classes in the high school. jan. 9, 1945, marked the end of the thirty-three year ad- ministration of Principal G. A. Ketcham. The board selected D. H. Beary as principal Feb. 28, 1945, and he assumed his duties the following September. Since then the familiar pattern has continued--one of steadily increasing enrollments, adjustments to meet the needs of stu- dents in changing times, bondings, and building plans in line with advancing educational demands that have characterized the growth and development of MCHS. New courses have been added and others revisedg many extra-curricular activities have been brought in. Now, in 1956, part of MCHS will move to the new high school on Hale Field, and the school which has increased to more than 1600 students, will operate in two buildings. 1. The first floor takes shape last August, 1955. 2 and 3. Con- struction progresses with the removal of forms and the beginning of the brickwork in the fall of 1955. 4. The building model depicts MCHS-complete. R x Sify ': L-aL- ..... . tit., 1 Eggffmi 2 ,r , .
