t he GDMER OUR PRESENT NEEDS The Woodward High School building was erected about fifteen years ago. It was deemed then that the present structure would provide adequate school facilities for a quarter of century or more. However, school needs and population have grown much more rapidly than forecasted. Then fifty high school students were ready to enter; the present school year over three hundred sixty high school students have enrolled, and to this number, one hundred seventy junior high school pupils, composed of seventh and eighth grades, should be added. Every room in the present building is overcrowded. During the year we have been visited by the high school inspector and state school architect and each stated that Woodward’s imperative educational need is a new high school building. Specific needs: 1. The present domestic science department is too small. There should be added a model kitchen, dining room and more cabinet space. 2. Likewise tihe space now occupied by domestic art department is too limited. There should be added a fitting room and cabinets for storing supplies and displaying work. At lei U double present space should be added. 3. The work of commercial department is very much handicapped by be-dng crowded into one room. There should be at least three separate rooms. A typewriting room and a bookkeeping room in addition to a regular recitation room. 4. A library room adjacent to a large reading room, ample for one hundred and twenty students or more. 5. Our science department—physic, agriculture, 'general science and chemistry—need at least double space no occupied. 6. The manual training department should have, in addition to the present space, a machine room, finishing room and a stock room. 7. Physical education is now recognized as an imperative need, and hence, all modern schools are provided with good gymnasiums. The gymnasium should be accessible to advanced grades, junior and senior high school students. 8. No school plant is complete without commodius auditorium, and the auditorium should be accessible both to grades and high school. The auditorium would provide classes in expression, groups in dramatic, public speaking and debate work, an opportunity for efficient training. Also the auditorium would provide a suitable place for music work, and in addition to the rehearsal work, a suitable place for presentation of musical and dramatic work to the public. 9. Every school needs an auditorium of sufficient size to provide for the as-semblege of students—particularly the senior and junior high schools. From this mass assembly comes a splendid student morale, inspiration and an opportunity for the public to contribute to the educational program of community. These nine needs indicated are apparent to every thoughtful visitor, who has taken time to inspect our present school plant. The invariable conclusion reached by these visitors is: “You cer- tainly need more room. When do you plan to build? You certainly have far outgrown your present building.' No high school in western Oklahoma offers so extended and complete courses in domestic science, three years; domestic art, three years; manual training, five years; science, four years; a firs, class complete commercial course. It is this semi-vocational work offered in addition to the regular academic work which has made the Woodward High School both popular and efficient and induced many families to move to Woodward for educational advantages.
