C THE NEW SENIOR l-IIGI-l SCHOOL 0 ECAUSE the completion of Sumner's new high school marks the beginning of a new epoch in the history of the Sumner schools, it seems only fitting that one page of this annual should be given over to a story and picture of this beautiful and modern structure. For many years the high school students have had such crowded quarters and inadequate equipment that the new building with its large and airy classrooms, its modern heating system, its science, commercial and domestic departments and its spacious assembly, seems more than convenient to the students. Viewed from the outside the building presents an artistic appearance. The two front entrances have arches of white sandstone, which is a pleasing contrast to the red brick. At the west end of the building just inside the entrance are located the com- modious offices of the superintendent, principal, and secretary. ln the main office is the switchboard which controls the classroom telephones throughout the building. This is also the center for the room heating system, as well as for the loudspeakers, for which the building is wired. One particularly interesting detail of the office unit is the fireproof vault where the school's valuables are kept. To those who are inclined toward scientific lines, perhaps two of the best features of the entire school are the science laboratories. Here the equipment is com- plete and modern in every detail and the arrangement is entirely convenient. Bunsen burners, plenty of drawer and cupboard space, individual gas and water faucets on the working tables, and sliding blackboards are among the many handy facilities. On the other hand, those of a more domestic turn of mind could never be convinced that anything in the building excelled the cooking and sewing rooms. The sewing room boasts plenty of drawer and table space, and the cooking room is made especially convenient by several sinks, plenty of cupboard space, electric stoves and a dining alcove. These departments, together with the offices, class rooms, committee and supply rooms comprise the first floor. Upstairs is the assembly which is built to accommodate three hundred and fifty people. In an elevated section at the back are ISO opera seats. The stage properties. the beautiful curtain, and the opera seats were the gift of the local japanese Association. Adjoining the assembly is the well furnished library. Four other classrooms, the music and commercial rooms are also found on this floor. The walls of the assembly, the music rooms, and the typing room have been given special acoustic treatment, rendering them sound-proof. The architects were Hill, Mock, and Morrison, and Knowell and Westerfield were the general contractors. Thrcc

0 FOREWORD I N spite of the difficulties and discourage- ments which have confronted us on every side, we, the staff of the i932 Spartan, are offering to you, our readers, this yearbook. We have worked this past year with a desire to please, and if any criticisms are forthcom- ing, we are hoping that the dissatisfied ones will remember that every phase of school activity has been covered in some form, even though the price of the book was reduced and only one third of the money generally donated by various organizations to the annual came in this year. As you read the l932 Spartan in years to come, may it recall memories of happy days in Sumner l-ligh, of our beautiful building, of our kind instructors, and, best of all, of our School-day friends.
