The walls and construction throughout this floor are the same as for the first floor. The heating and ventilating system is thoroughly modern. The heating is by steam; radiators automatically controlled by thermostat. A constant supply of fresh air is driven into each room by a large fan. As this air is taken in from the outside it is driven through a spray of water and washed of its dirt and impurities, and then warmed before being sent into the different rooms. The building is equipped with an interphone telephone system so that it will be possible from the superintendent’s office to talk to any room in the building, or, by making the proper connection, to make an announcement or to talk to all the teachers in their respective rooms at the same time. Much time and thought have been put upon the plans and specifications of this building. A thoroughly modern, sanitary, practical and beautiful building will be the result. While no money is being spent on useless ornamentation or in extravagance, yet the building is of the best construction throughout. It is a model for efficient school purposes, and will be a joy and a pride to both pupils and the community for years to come. TOUI.ON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Nine

The o T he Neu? (J3uildin 1 E new High School building is at last in sight. By the time this “Tolo ’22” |gets into your hands the building will be well on its way to completion. Placed south and west of the present building, with tpe main entrance at the west, it will be a building of which the whole community may be proud, both as Regards its appearance and its use. The dimensions are— frontage, 143V2 feet; depth, 75 feet; height, two stories and basement. The outside walls are faced with matt faced brick, varying in color from cherry red to gun-metal. The outside trim is of buff and blue Bedford stone. Entering the main entrance one finds himself in the vestibule of the main corridor. The walls here are faced with a gray pressed brick, having a wainscot four feet six inches high of glazed brick of a darker color. The wood trimmings are of first quality plain red oak. The floor is terrazo, a mixture of marble chips and cement, showing at the surface of the floor eighty per cent marble. Thus the walls and floor give at once the impression of neatness, cleanliness and durability. From the vestibule a short flight, or half flight of stairs leads up to the first floor and a similar short flight down to the ground floor. Going down to the ground floor, there are the gymnasium, dressing rooms, showers, toilets, and the domestic science and manual training rooms. In the southeast corner is the boiler room. The gymnasium has a floor 751 2 by 45 feet. On the east side is the stage, 26 by 15 feet, with a dressing room on each side. The gymnasium is thus fitted to be used either as a gymnasium or as an auditorium. For auditorium purposes it will be fitted with movable chairs. The gymnasium can be entered directly from the outside as well as from the main part of the building, thus making it possible to use the gymnasium or auditorium at any time without entering the main part of the building.
