When the ever-increasing enrollment made more room necessary in 1924, the offices of the superintendent and board of education were moved from the North Building into the new quar- ters provided. Teachers, supervisors, and maintenance men were given adequate accommodations in the new building: and even high school students profited to the extent of six classrooms on the third floor of i'The Annex. The Library Expansion of the high school buildings group took a last step in 1928 with the addition of the portable frame cottage placed on the property north of the North Building. Used originally for a kindergarten at Quincy School, at the high school it became the library and study hall. It had seats for 124 students, but often at the opening of a new term more than 200 pupils were enrolled. The heat of an October afternoon, the peaceful if begrimed mural figures, the huge black stove that smoked-all Will be remembered by the students who had classes in The Library. Page 8

A N W D if SY The South Building ELEVEN years after the completion of the North Building, increased enroll- ment called for an addition to the high school. The South or Manual Train- ing Building was formally opened May 10, 1905. Since that time, under the supervision of the vice-principal, it has maintained a hospitable identity of its own. Like the North Building it has its history and traditions, dear to students and faculty alike. For the last five years it has been the scene of a new activity-the night school. At first open for only a few classes, it now is completely filled and several classes have been started in the North Building. The South Building will remain vivid in the memories of several thousand grateful men and women who have received within its walls opportunity for further education and advancement. Page 7
