THE HIGH COST OF NEW CLOTHING Helen R. Fisii “Al’I’ORV of creation of world told in 300 words: try it, was the message received by a cub reporter who had wired his editor for more space. Cowed by like editorial warning, I undertake to compress the history of the new building to the space of one of its own bricks. When South I ligh was in its scrambling teens, the Hoard of Education wished to keep it still in short trousers, hut there were those who had a more manly vision. So the plan of “letting out by the addition of a few class rooms and an auditorium for 600 was changed to the long-trousered effect of an auditorium for 2,000, a lunch room, a gymnasium, commercial and manual training departments. 1 lardlv were the new clothes donned, however, than the lusty high school cried for more. Classes were dangling out of sleeves, halls bursting at the seams, pockets bulging with stray teachers. Still the Board, deceived by Mr. Jorgens’ skilful Gary system of pressing, pronounced the clothes a perfect lit. Moreover, they pointed out that there was no money, since East and West wanted shoes and Central must have a whole new suit. Southtown was roused. Mass meetings were held. Wires were kept hot and tempers too. Mr. Jorgens and the men of the faculty were oftener at the legislature than at school. Committees rose anil fell, “and some of ’em was brave, and some was not,” and at last when our pattern was chosen and the samples in our pockets— North High’s entire wardrobe burned! South I ligh must wait! We waited. Meanwhile, East and West, who had been put off with new neckties, began to clamor. It looked like a return to knickerbockers for everybody, until those who believed in better raiment renewed the light. They won. South I ligh’s $250,000 suit is even now being made. It is not beautiful, but as our mothers say, it is “strong and warm, and of a size befitting so tall a youth. I o those who know the history of the hopes, ambitions and struggles that went into its acquiring, it seems such stuff as dreams are made of. All right with thr world!” ( 16] Sec page IJ4, Nov. 12.
