The New School Building. The need of a new .school building began with the completion of the old one. When the old building was constructed in 1886 no provision was made for a High School. A part of the upper hall-way was thrown into two rooms forming one large study room and a small class room. Later it was necessary to divide the study room to provide sufficient recitation room. For the past few years these together with the grades have been over crowded, notwithstanding the fact that two rooms had been built to the north school. Accordingly, a public meeting was called to discuss the matter, but adjourned for one week. In the mean time the State Building Inspector and State Architect pronounced the old building unsafe. Bonds for a new High School and Grade building were voted June 27, 1911, and the contract let Sep- tember 26th. Wo,rli began on the new building, Sep- tember 27th and as this book goes to press the base- ment story is about completed. The basement will contain the toilet rooms, gym- nasium, domestic science and manual training rooms, dinner ro-om, .store room and vault. The first story consists of eight school rooms. The second story will be occupied by the High School with assembly room, recitation rooms, labora- tories, library, office and rest room. ' O. B. and F. B. Four things a man mu.st learn to do, If he Would keep his record true.: To think without confusion clearly, 'To love his fellowrnan sincerely, To act from honest motives purely, To trust in God and heaven securely. -Henry Van Dyke.
