School History 0 Since 1875, the Streator Township High School has been a vital and valiant institution in the community of Streator. Through its portals have passed the young men and women who have played a great part in not only the history of our city, but also in the history of the state and federal government. 0 To properly prepare these young people to meet the problems they have had to encounter, the school has always endeavored to maintain high standards of educational and teaching principles. In 1882, the first actual Streator Township High School was dedicated. Previous to this date, there had been no definite school building. The high school of 1882, accommo- dated only four hundred students, and consequently as years progressed the immense growth in the size of the enrollment necessitated a larger building. Therefore in 1902, a southwest wing was constructed. In 1926, the main portion of the old building was replaced by a new addition, which the students of Streator are today attending. At the same time this addi- tion was built, it was fully intended that an auditorium be erected also, but it was later discovered that financial difficulties prevented this step. In keeping with these same ideals, a new addition is to be constructed in 1936, and will of course be a progressive step in a more effective prepara- tion of the youth of Streator for citizenship. This construction will be the largest public building project launched in the city for more than a decade, and is being made possible through a government loan of 3101,980. The total cost of the new construction is estimated at S226,666. The edifice will be of fireproof construction and will consist of a basement, class rooms, and an auditorium. The class room portion provides for nine instruction rooms, four work-shops, four laboratories, and one lecture room. I The auditorium has long been needed for a more efficient and modern school program. It will be used for assemblies, commencement exercises, and for community purposes. The auditorium is to be 86 by 128 feet and will provide a seating capacity for 1,588 persons. According to the spon- sors of the project, thirty-nine weeks will be required for the completion of the work. 0 Although the class of 1936 would have liked to partake of the advan- tages oiered to them by the new construction, they have had countless pleasures throughout their four years, and leave the school for the future students of the S. H. S. Addition Now Under Construction I, Auditorium and Class Rooms- 14
