Page 10 text:

 our Community High School The growth of popular education ideas couid not have manifested itself in a more noble and glorious way than in the determination that the citizens of Warrensburg community have shown in their work for a community high school building. The school that will be made in the building, will advance the educational standards of our fair community a lull twenty years. The generations to come will be grateful and will give their heartfelt thanks to those who gave of their time and money to make the school the success that it deserves to be. Upon the success of the project depends the success of hundreds ol boys and girls who will, in years to come, enter and pass out of its doors. Upon its success will depend whether our boys and girls will be proud to hold up their heads among mankind and say, “I graduated from Warrensburg Community High School.” To be a success, our school must be an investment. It cannot be otherwise. It should not only bring in financial returns of far greater size than for most other investments, but the benefits to be derived in pleasure, and satisfaction of knowing ourselves to be among the educators of the land, should be such that even if there was no financial returns, we would feel repaid for the investment we have made. Only in peace, in harmony, can we ever hope to make the school advance to the position that it should in the lives of ourselves and the lives of our boys and girls. We will all work together and make it one place in the community where we can all feel that we are at home. The building itself will be a brick structure, with two stories and a basement. The basement to be of the same height as other parts of the building. It is to be in the form of a “T”, except that the wings will not be completed until they are actually needed for class use, and that will be some years, doubtless. The basement will be occupied by a gymnasium, coal and furnace rooms, and a class room. On the second floor there will be an office and two laboratories, which will be used for the sciences. The upper floor will be taken up by a study room and two class rooms, in addition to a corridor. It is intended that the building will be of the standard type and construction; and will have accommodations for the work Warrensburg community’s boys and girls are entitled to be given a chance to do. When the building has been completed and work has been started in it, we will all be proud and more self-respecting; we will be pleased to show st: angers what WL' have done, and when the Great Master calls us to that land from whose bourne no traveller returns, may we all be able to say, “I did my bit to put Warrensburg in a place in the sun.”
