FINEST HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
IN THE STATE Of OKLAHOMA
COSTING 100000 ALL TIME AS MONUMENT
OF DRESSED STONE AND THE ENTERPRISE OF THE
ARDMORE

Ardmore has taken another step to
wards the very front rank i'll the
column OF the advanced cities of the
state. On last Wednesday evening
(April 2D the members of the city
board OF education let the contract
for the erection OF a High School
building which, when finished Will
stand second to none in the state.
This building Will cost, when com
pleted, including modern heating
equipment and all necessary conve-
nence together with the cost of the
site upon which it VIII stand, $lOO,OOn.
Bids for the construction of this
building was asked for in adver-
tlsements inserted in the leading
trade journals all over the southWes.
and over twenty of the leading build
ing contractors from as many differ
ent cities responded. Contractors
were here from points as far south
as southern Texas and from points
in the north as far as Kansas CITY.
The members of the board of educa-
ton were careful and painstaklnS
in their choice of builder and sat
isfied themselves that the best in
terests of the taxpayers of Ardmore
would be well conserved before they
awarded this contract. For practically
three days and nights the matter was
carefully gone over and when at last
the contract was given out the low

work could be done had been OBJ

His third termism will defeat him as

of his most radical followers will bolt

not get any great following from the

He will probably start a
