SA CLASS REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL-What was once just a fond hope in the minds of R, H. Latham and the late Mrs. Katherine Smith Reynolds-Iohnston has been transformed into a more than true realization today in the form of one of the South's greatest educational plants lt was just fifteen years ago last fall that the first complete school year was begun in the great building which serves as the main educational plant for the school today. ln 1919, first plans for the school which was to serve the growing city of Winston- Salem were made. The main academic building, composed of 68 rooms and located on the site of 28 acres, and the modern heating plant were the first buildings to be constructed. Vifhile construction was going on, the Cherry Street High School burned on the night of Ianuary 9, 1923. After a three-day holiday, the students started to Rey- nolds High, which was still under construction. 'I' he Reynolds auditorium was the gift of the late Mrs. Katherine Smith Reynolds- lohnston to the youth of Winston-Salem in memory of her husband, the late Richard Reynolds. In early 1924, the auditorium for the school was completed at a cost of S700,000. Seating 2,25O, it was considered the finest auditorium in this section. Mrs. Reynolds personally supervised parts of the construction.
