2 12' . . ix JL mats? In 1919 the enrollment of these now tame Indians became so large that a new tepee was erected. Monsieur Scott Willams, a prominent citizen of Sterling, served as the first coach of the game which the Americans call football. We have nothing with which to compare it in France. However, its popularity with the Americans is comparable with the French delight in bowling. All games or athletics were introduced by the faculty and board in order that the pupils might give vent to their ferocity in such a manner as to develop both body and mind. The first gymnasium classes were conducted by Mr. Austin. In 1918 scheduled gymnasium was introduced and was taught by Miss Harriet Echternach and Mr. H. Z. Mussel- man. In 1901, the Art Committee of the high school held an Art Exhibit in order that they might secure funds with which to beautify the interior of the building. This exhibit of oil paintings, water colors, and etchirgs was contributed by the citizens of Sterling and Rock Falls. It has also been the custom of each graduating class to publish a document in which they record the history of their years in the high school. This is called the Blue and Goldfl Thus endeth the report of my brief stay at the Township High School-the pride of the Sterling residents. Signed, M. H. '27. -Jacques La Salle S. H. S. EQUIPMENT The Sterling Township High School is modern in all of its activities. This completeness is also extended to the equipment. We are exceptionally proud of the Sterling Township High School. Needless to say, we measure up to the state requirements. Our study halls and recitation rooms are furnished with all school necessities. Each assembly room is supplied with reference material of which there is, to the dismay of some students, an unending supply. The Seniors have found Twelve Centuries of English Poetry and Prose especially a satisfactory source of knowledge con- cerning such men as Chaucer, Milton, and Burke. The large, ofhce accommodates all book report necessities. It is in this room that the school librarian, Mrs. Coe, recommends the books over which the classmen wrangle. She has listed under her care the volumes of Scott, Poe, Shakespeare, and other notable writers. Besides fiction there are tomes filled with the weighty philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, science, and biographies. The private office is used as a workshop and conference room by Professor Austin. All delinquents are dealt with in this room. The basement laboratories of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and General Science are equipped with the necessary apparatus for all scientific experiments. In connection with the physical training our school is furnished with a splendid gymnasium and shower rooms for both boys and girls. The boys are supplied with all track, football, and basketball regalia. Coaches Eades and Whaley extend a hearty invitation to any boy who wants to try out for any of these activities, they have athletic suits in all sizes. All dramatic demonstrations of the year are presented on the large stage in the gymnasium. With the addition of the new building the pupils were given the advantages offered in the Commercial, Domestic Science, and Shop departments. The rooms are fitted with all necessities. Anyone majoring in these subjects finds adequate equipment for the work offered. With all of these advantages why shouldn't we be proud of S. H. S.? 1927 11. -M. H. '27
