“Paradise Regained!” This title of Milton’s famous poem echoed on the lips of 171 eager, happy students as they marched into their new, modern high school on the first day of May. As the students entered the portals of the two-story, 62 by 105 foot structure, many memories must have filled their minds, a few sad memories, but many happy ones. Memories such as the long uphill grind to old Walker High School have almost been forgotten now. But most of us can remember the fire on February 5, 1947 in which the beloved old “Castle” was completely de- stroyed. Undoubtedly, the thought of leaving the temporary high school, the DuPont Club, was a happy one. For although Washburn owes a deep debt of gratitude to the DuPont Company, not only for the use of its club rooms as a high school but also for its help in procuring the new school, nevertheless, the “club” was poorly lighted, poorly ventilat- ed, and lacking in space. In contrast, our new school is brightly decorated in a brilliant new- color scheme, is heated amply by the grade school heating plant, and has more than enough space to provide for classes. Additions to the form- er curriculum will be added: home economics and manual training pro- grams, w'hich will be held on the first floor, which also has a band room, two practice rooms, a mathematics room, and a commercial room. The second floor houses the laboratory, science recitation room, social stud- ies room, study hall, library and offices. Many students had almost given up the idea of Washburn ever having a new and permanent high school, but upon seeing and attending such a fine, up-to-date school, we all agree that it was worth our waiting.
