"In September 1942 the new high school building on Dale Street opened. According to Principal Hartford, “The general effect of the new building on the student body has been excellent. We have rooms enough for our entire facility of 11 regular teachers and two special education teachers. Classes in each subject are now being held in the same room. There are no classes to large for the rooms. The library gives ample space. The laboratory makes possible individual science experiments. We are now able to introduce new courses in general shop for boys and household arts for girls, physical education and public speaking. The combined gymnasium-auditorium is used regularly 33 out of 35 periods each week for assembly, for classes in English, dramatics and public-speaking, for physical education and music.”
