we can still claim the honor, of being largest graduating class. The assembly in the Old High School Building was not large enoguh to accommodate all of us, so double rows of seats were made and two pupils sat together those were the days of real sport. With elaborate ceremonies the corner stone for the new High School was laid in 1909. The fall of the year 1910 saw the completion of the imposing edifice, modern in architecture and a model school building in all of its appointments. It was ready for occupancy the early part of September. There are two stories with ground floor and attic. On the ground floor are the domestic science rooms, machine shops, kindergarten rooms and furnace rooms. The first floor is given over to class rooms, superintendent and principals offices, and the large assembly room, with a seating capacity of about two hundred fifty. On the second floor are the chemical, botanical, physical and private laboratories. In the first year in the new building we had several new members on the faculty. Mr. Hall remained as superintendent until the spring of the following year when Mr. Holliday succeeded him and our present principal, Mr. Whiteman, accepted Mr. Holliday’s position. The attendance of the High School has doubled since 1905, when there was an enrollment of about fifty-seven. It now has increased to one hundred seventy-five members. The courses of study given are of the best and prepare the graduates to enter large colleges and universities. Every visitor who inspects the new building is lavish in his praises of its beauty and conveniences. We invite all the grade pupils and their parents to visit our High School; if they will inspect our beautiful building, examine the work, and investigate the excellent and varied courses of study, we are sure that they will wish to join the ranks that throng the corridors of the Whiting High School. -HAZEL LONG. 8
