ew. ,fran sczmz The High School which is in use by the borough at the present time has fl long and rather interesting history. In this sketch we shall tell of the various construction and other work which has been carried on since the conception of the entire building. The High School was built in two parts, by High School is meant the part of the building which was built before 1931. The first part of this building was built in the years of 1913 and 1914. The part which was built at that time included what we now know as Mr. Williams', Miss Morrowls, Mr. Kem- merer's, Miss Ionesl, and Mr. Strongls rooms. lt also included the Old Library,', the halls, and Mr. Passmorels ollice. In 1919 the rest of the old High School was constructed which included Mr. Haines', Mrs. Ridenourls, the Library, Miss Burnsl, and Miss Iordan's rooms and the auditorium. From this time, until 1931, no more building was done. In 1931 the New Buildingl' was erected on the spot which had previously been a tennis court. This section included the gymnasium, all of the rooms facing Nittany Avenue, Miss Smith's and Mr. Stoddart's rooms, the Home Ec rooms, the shop and art room. At the time of building the heating plants were separate, one in the present art room and the other in the basement of the Old High School. In 1936, Mr. Stoverls, Mr. Iamison's, and Mr. Gackenbach's rooms were built onto the original Nittany Avenue building. The heating plants were then combined under the new annex, which finishes the building up to the present time. Eight
