OUR SCHOOL The Upper Arlington High School Building has now reached the fourth stage in its development, lacking only a final completing wing. A loriet survey of the outlay gives this picture of the changes. Heading the list is the line, long-sought auditorium equipped with all modern conveniences, including motion picture and sound apparatus, a stage of large capacity, all necessary forms ot scenery and lighting, and finally, ample seating room. lmme- diately adjoining the auditorium on the stage side is a gymnasium equally modern, with increased lloor space, a convenient balcony for seating spectators, and the Uhloxon-end flooring, a vast improvement over the former style. The gymnasium also contains the scenic equipment and the stage effects including a cycloramic scene design tor the auditorium. Other miscellaneous improvements are a new cafeteria, art room, music room, various high school class rooms, trophy cases, and class rooms for elementary grades in the old gymnasium. Not only do the improvements pertain to the school huilding itself but to the out door physical education layout. A large concrete stadium with dressing rooms heneath, a field house with dressing facilities and a heating plant for the school, and a complete renovation ot the playing field and traclc system have heen in- cluded. it can now readily he seen that with such fine additions the school can he called one of the best equipped of its type, and with them the elevation of the school standard can naturally he effected. Needless to say, such additions and improvements as have heen added were of vital necessity, hut without the line cooperation of the village as a whole, the un- tiring efforts ol the school hoard, composed of Mrs. I. Clark, president: Mr. Hersh- herger. vice president, Mr. Williams, secretary-treasurer, Mr. Copper and Mr. Kennedy, and assistance ol Supt. J. VV. Jones, and the coordination of the Pula- lic Vvorlcs Administration division of the federal government, the project could not have been effected. Only hy setting new and hetter records in hoth educational and athletic lines can the pupils show a proper appreciation for this new addition. TED HELD. t 3 J
