As a research scientist for General Electric Company, Steinmetz deserves for every device in connection with alternating since he invented the power transformer tor current and proved that it was safe to use remember him as the maker of testing insulation. He died in 1923. To the left we see Steinmetz High School as it looked in 1931. Thus steel beams and girders remained for three years, when federal aid was granted for its completion. Below we see our school lighted for some eve- ning function, a band concert, a P.T.A. Father's Night, a play, or graduation exercises.
