rl-IQ SIQPHQNS 'Clqnutp 'STEPHENS HIGH SCHHHL The main part of Stephen: High School wa.r built in 1911 at a total coxt of 328,750.00. The eight lotx upon which the fchool wax built were donated by the Rumford Power Company. The building wax named after john E. Stephenx one of Rumford': moft prominent men. In 1915, the .rchool wa: crowded, Jo the weft wing containing four new room.: wax added at a coyt of 319,500. For more room, convenience and look: the eaft wing. In 1917 wax added at a coxt of 321,409.21 When fchool opened in 1911 Charlef Letter Smith war the principal, the total enrollment for the jirft year wa: one hundred twenty-Jix. Now a one hundred twenty-five thouxand dollar addition on the Penobxcot Street Jide of Step- hen: High School ha.r been noted and agreed up on by the board of education and is awaiting cor- rectionx at the Jpring seuion of Legi,flature,' the conctruction will be Jtarted ay .foon af the cor- rection: are made. The addition if to be one :tory higher and overlapping the prefent building. The jirxt floor of the central .fection will be a completely equipped, Jtandard Jize gymnaxium fifty by eighty feet, which will hold Jive hundred fifty people. There will be two entrancef to the gymnafium from Penobxcot Street. Above the gymnafium i.r to be the aJ.rembly hall, with a .reating capacity of .reven hundred people. There will be feven to ten clan roomf df needed. S The new building will hold the junior High School which if compofed of the eighth and ninth gradef, and the Senior High School, which ix made up of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth gradex. The prefent high Jchool building haf proved very inconvenient for the pupilf. The lach of a gymnafium hax made it neceffary for the girlx to hold their phyxical education clan in the bafe- ment where the air if poor due to the nearneff of the chemistry and phyxicx laboratoriex. The bas'- kethall Jquadx in order to train have to go over to the In.ftitute,' thi: makes it hard for both boy! and coach. Our anembly room if hardly large enough to feat the Jtudent-body of the High School comfortably, and whenever vifitorx come they have to Jil on folding chair: which are none too comfortable or Jafe. ' . - A new high Jchool would not only bring added beauty to the town, but would help .rtrengthen the educational habitf of the pupilx. IRENE FARRAR, '30 EDITH GOODFELLOW, '30 Page Fourteen
