IVE years ago on November 2, 193 3, the first gym committee of Wat- sonville Union High School was established under the advisership of Miss Ruth Paulding for the purpose of representing the Student Body in preliminary planning for the gymnasium. Student Body President Cleon Smith led the committee in beginning the annual gym fund dances, the last of which was held in April, 1 9 3 6. Every year the activity of the gym committee renewed public interest in the great necessity for a high school gymnasium. However, though it was interest, it was not active enough to produce concrete results. Finally on September 17, 1936, the long hoped for gym bond was passed, whereby the taxpayers of the local school district promised to pro- vide 570,000 of the SI26,45S necessary for a new gymnasium. A wild cele- bration of joy-mad high school students rocked the town that night. Hopes gradually slipped down into the old groove again, however, when it became apparent that the federal appropriation necessary to start construction was not immediately forthcoming. For an entire year the matter seemed forgotten. Then a telegram from Congressman McGrath to Mr. MacQuiddy in September, 1937, ended the long, long wait. The ap- propriation had been passed, and our mythical gym was at last to be realized. The new building will be ready for use in September, 1 938. MIIIIIHSIUIII
