 ITO the Citizens of Plainville:
 1.-The dream that we all had, on that memorable evening in the Con- munity theater over a year ago, of a new modern high school building in Plainville has now come true. It stands due east and west in the midst of nine acres of playground where the children of this and com ing generations may play: where field events may be held: and where the community may assemble, from year to year. as Plainville continues to grow until it becomes a city.
 within the walls are conveniences for modern education. meeting the needs of modern social. civic and in- dustrial life. An education for the children. second to none in Con- necticut, may be carried on here and if managed wisely, at a reason- able cost to the town.
 We now have, for the first time since have been connected with the school of Plainville, sufficient school accommodations to properly reorganize and operate the several grades in our public schools.
 Our new building is so planned that 1t will be adaptable to the new school ideals required by the educa- tional cxigencies of tomorrow.
 "The building is so planned and laid out that 1t may be enlarged without damage or change to the present structure.
 "The building Is complete, and I am sure that you all want to see 1t: therefore. come to the Plainville high school with us on Thursday evening. May 5, at 7:30, daylight saving time. and wander down the corridors: toss ball in the gym nasium; hear the echoes ring as the high school glce clubs sing in the auditorium: and listen to the first addresses ever given from the new stage. Then look through the 20 class rooms: the three offices: the three store rooms: the health room; the teachers room; the shower rooms; the dressing rooms; the two physical directors rooms: the more than 50 closets and cases; the fur mace and fuel rooms.
 There will be happy high school boys and girls everywhere about the building, to guide you and to ex- plain all part of the building to you.
 This is a personal invitation to you to come. The dream that you dreamed Is real. Again I repeat. the new school is now complete. If you
