Everyone, who is interested in South Park has for some time been looking
forward to our new school building. Why should'nt they ? Building signifies
growth. We have outgrown our present building in several respects, therefore, we
all welcome our new school building.
This new building will consist of three floors, the ground floor, main floor
And second floor. It will be three hundred feet long and two hundred
and four feet wide. A wide flight of steps leads up to the main
entrance which is in the center of the building on the main floor. Below these
stairs there is a storage space and the two main entrances on the ground floor.
Upon entering, the ground floor we find has a large lobby which opens into a
wide corridor on both sides. Back of this are a large cafeteria and a splendid
gymnasium. The gymnasium is provided with a ball court and bleachers which will
seat about five hundred. There are also two stairways leading to the
stage and auditorium upstairs. This will be of advantage when giving pageants and plays.
The ground floor also contains the Commercial Department to the right of the
lobby. It is composed of an office, a small bank and a room, each, for
typewriting, stenography, and book-keeping. On the same side of the building
there is a printing shop and a room for recitations in education.
On the left, one finds a trophy room and a small storage room and five class
rooms. Three of these are, science rooms for Biology and Agriculture; Zoology
and Lectures. The other two are for Mathematics and recitations.
The main floor is divided similarly to the ground floor. The entrance opens
into a vestibule and lobby. Both sides of this lobby lead into a large corrider
which runs the length of the building. The class rooms are situated on each side
of the corridor.
To the left of the lobby are three offices and a room for the Board meetings.
There are also four class rooms, two for History and Economics, one for
Mathematics and a recitation room for the other, while on the right two offices
for the principal and his secretary and a stack room and the other a small
study
hall for the college students.
At the end of the corridor there is a large study hall for the high school
students.
An auditorium, which seats seven hundred and fifty-two. and the bleachers for
the gym come back of the main floor lobby.
The second floor has the central corridor as well. The middle part of this
floor toward the front is taken up by the English Department which consists of
four large recitation rooms. The rear forms the balcony of the auditorium,
giving seating room for three hundred and sixty, and the upper part of the
stage
with dressing rooms. This
space will probably be used for voice training and music.
The floor to the right is occupied by three rooms for modern languages and an
art studio. The rest is for two laboratories for Physics and Chemistry. With
these go a lecture room and two small rooms to be used as a preparation room and
a dark room.
The Home Economics Department will have a separate building, a complete
modern bungalow. It has a reception room with doors opening into the different
departments. There are six rooms, equipped for the different departments, one
each for home nursing, home laundry, cooking laboratory, serving laboratory, and
dining room. There is also a small office, a breakfast room, and three model
kitchens in connection with the Cooking Department.
The main building will have twenty-five or more recitation rooms, exclusive
of the offices. It will surely be a most splendid institution for the South Park
Community.
