Via lEN1rnuENouJs ..,,, l Somerset High School Library VVe, of the Class of 1932, need only to look backward ten years, at which time the nucleus of our present high school building was erected, to realize the advantages, both in building and curriculum, which we now enjoy. In our new and modern high school, one finds class room facilities for one thousand students, together with an auditorium, a library, and a gymnasium adequate to meet our needs. Of no less importance are a complete new suite of science laboratories, and newly installed devices for training in homemaking, agriculture, and manual training. ANNA MTAIER One of the most valuable assets of our institution is G:f:iE2Si:T':Lislg2EiL its welljequipped library. The students make profit- able use of lnore than three thousand volumes, eight thousand pamphlets, a picture file of ten thousand and a store of current magazines, which are placed there for our benefit. This library is con- tinually growing under the able supervision of Miss Maier. The accumu- lation of books has been the result of donations a11d an annual dramatic production. It was found necessary, due to the growth of enrollment and an increasing number of books, to enlarge our library to meet the needs of the students seeking entertainment and knowledge. In our eyes this has been one of the greatest improvements of the school. -Wg 5 Ee..-

1760 L.. ENTIRE. Nous iiiisa The new building has an added attractionfspace to carry 011 an exten- sive program of physical education. Gym work is taken several times a week by every student, the boys using one side of tl1e gymnasium and the girls the other. It is 76 X 88 feet with three basketball floors, one for girls' intra-mural, one for boys', and one for inte1'scl1olastic games. In this way there are intra-mural athletics for everyone, rather than for the special benefit of those interested in and capable of participating in inter- scholastic contests. The enrollment of our Junior-Senior high school this year has totalled eight hundred and fifteen, with a faculty of thirty-two members to super- vise it. A very interesting fact concerning this number is that a great portion 'of the student body comes from the rural districts, partly because of improyed means of transportation, but mostly because of the ideal and interesting courses offered by our own Somerset High School. That, in- deed, is the greatest advertisement of the advancement and attraction of our school. There isttruly a commendable spirit of co-operation among the stu- dents, which is evidenced by the support given to all school functions. Although tl1e interests of the smaller units of the school are varied, there are bonds which combine us in one l2l1'g'C unit and which enable us to work together' harmoniously. Thus we learn a most valuable lesson of co-opera- tion which teaches us to use our own minds, but still to work with a spirit of unison. This high school reveals the high-mindedness of the people of Somerset Borough and their interest in the welfare of their child1'en. VVe believe that there is no better way of measuring the people,s attitude toward the younger generation than by their schools. -..sgf 5 fp..-
