The, Wicomico High School S ITUATED upon a commanding eminence overlooking Lake Humphreys stands the Wicomico High School. The building was built in 1905 at a cost of sixteen thou¬ sand dollars for which Wicomico county was bonded, which proves that the peo¬ ple are not afraid to incur a slight debt for the sake of improving their boys and girls. The building is of brick, in shape square, in height three stories. Surmounting the structure is a tower, in which hangs a bell of sweet tone. Within, there are six recitation rooms, an assembly hall, teacher’s office, drawing and manual training room, and physical laboratory. The building is heated by steam, radiators having been placed in each room and in the halls. There are three entrances, one in front and one from each side, the side entrances being used by the students. The grounds are being put in excellent shape. Grass seed were sown during the fall and trees were planted on Arbor Day. A better site could not have been selected within the city for this building, and we venture the opinion that within a few years the entire surroundings will present one of the most beautiful appearances of any school in Maryland.
