Literary
The Athenians presented the sec
ond literary program OF M. q M
I"Resolved, that an upward revision
of the tariff is justifiable," was de-
bated by Wayne Parsons, Christine
Frash, George Barrett and Wilma
McMurray. On account of Illness
Martha Cook was unable to be pres
ent, so her part was read by Chris
tine F'rash, and no decision was
made upon the debate. A comic
reading given by Maurice Oglevee,
was enjoyed. Essays, poems, book
reviews and orations continued the
program. A saxophone and piano
solo added to the enjoyment of the
Athenians' presentation.
The Adephian literary society will
present the next program on Sept.
|27.
Layout of Proposed New Building
| In last weeks issue was mention
ed the fact that it was necessary for
M. e M. board of education to take
action relative to providing addition
| al room for our high school plant,
for the following reasons:
Farm shop room in grade build
ing has been condemned by state
fire marshal
Home economics department was
not provided in present high school
building. (The room being used as
kitchen is a basement room in the
southeast corner, and the room be-
ing used for sewing is in the north
west corner on the third f1oor.)
The high school standards re-
quire that every first grade high
school have a gymnasium of stand
ard size.
The proposed new school building
will be placed just 80 feet north of
the present high school building,
! facing Kennebec avenue. On the
| floor level with Kennebec avenue
will be the home economics rooms
consisting of kitchen, cafeteria and
sewing room and the auditorium
/ gymnasium. The auditorium will
seat $50 people. This will be large
enough to take care of the COM
mencement activities and any other
large gathering which the commun-
ity might wish to entertain. The
opera house has only 555 seats, and
every year a great number OF peo-
pie are turned away from the COM
mencement exercises. Since the
home economies department is ad-
jacent to the main auditorium, large
banquets such as our alumni BAN
quet can be taken care of in a splen-
did manner.
On the ground level of the south
and east side of the building will be
located the agriculture and manual
training rooms, and chemistry lab
oratory. The farm shop will be
large enough to take care of all
kinds of farm machinery, and the
manual training department will be
equipped with vanishing room
which is very necessary in order to
keep the dust from the newly var
nished pieces.
Added to the above advantages,
this building will eliminate the
necessity Of the high school pupils
going to the grade building for
part of their classes, thus saving
great deal of time. The over-croWd-
ed condition of the present building
will also be completely relieved.
It's here at last. The M. & NJ.
football team is ready to go. They
open their season tomorrow by play
ing Corning on the local field. The
Big Red Warriors are 'ravln TO
go, and they promise to give Corn
ing a big fight for the honors. M.
& M. started practice on Sept. z,
with 20 men reporting to Coach
Marquis. This is a very large num-
Der in proportion to the size OF our
school, and it shows that the boys
have the right spirit. Five letter
men reported Walker, Lewis and
Adrean are sure Of ball tot1ng po-
sitions. Adrean and Gessel are also
