On December 14, 1934, dedicatory ceremonies were held.

The men who served as the Board of Directors when the present building was con- structed were as follows: 1933 193-l VV. E. Harbaugh H. H. Soliday VV. H. Sease J. R. Johnston N. C. Shatzer N. C. Shatzer J. R. Johnston XV. G. Groshon H. J. Gehr H. J. Gehr The architect who designed the building was Bobb and Bixler, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The general contractor was H. B. Alexander from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It might be of interest at this point to mention the growth a11d development of the size of the faculty and of the curriculum. VVhi1e the high school was housed in the Rouzerville building the faculty consisted of one member, the principal. Later the faculty was increased to two members by adding another teacher. VVhen the school was moved to the next location at VVayne Heights the increase in enrollment necessitated a larger faculty, so a thtird teacher was added. As growth continued a fourth teacher was added and later a fifth. There was also just one course of study offered up to this time. However, in 1934 with the transferring of the high school fiom the W'ayne Heights building to the present location came not only a larger physical plant to house the school but also increased opportunities for the students. The faculty was increase in enrollment necessitated a larger faculty, so a third teacher was added. As growth suing one course of study each student was faced with the privilege of making a choice in order to help to better meet the individual needs. The following courses were offered: Academic, Commercial, Vocational Home Economics. Since then the faculty has increased to sixteen members and the curricula have been broadened to meet the changing needs of the times. An extra-curricular program as well as an increased athletic program have been added.

Space does not permit listing the whereabouts of all the graduates. Some of the more recent ones are in colleges and universities preparing for their chosen vocations. Now, that space does not permit us to delve any further into the past, may we bring this brief history to a close by repeating the last sentence of the quotation used in the introduction. If we are to know our probable destiny as a people or nation we must. as it were, stand upon the mountain-top, peer into the dismal darkness of the past, then turn with prophetic gaze toward the future. NVe have briefly gone into the past and gradually worked our way up to the present. Now, as we project our thoughts into the future may we envision a school system that continually moves forward adapting itself to meet the challenging needs of youth. l I l 41
