AIR SPACE

Flat roofs should have a venti-
lated air space between the roof
rafters and the top ceiling joists to
prevent condensation in this space
and to allow the heated air to es-

ler new building can truly replace.
To less mature youngsters, no fire
can come up to that of a school
house. One child was heard to re-
mark, shaking his shaggy head

A thrill that comes once in a
lifetime was that of hurting rocks
at school house windows, a sport
which the youngsters proved more
efficient at than firemen who sane.

! streams of water into the inferno
Heated almost to the melting
point, the windows broke peculiar
ly, only a round hole the size OF
the stone being made where it hit
The sound can best be described as
a "plop."
The original building was OF
brick veneer construction but q
comparatively fire proof addition
of about it's same size was built in
1915. Chief Corbett, when presi-
dent of the school board, told
members Of the board that the
building was a firetrap and that
should it ever ignite, nothing could
save it. Fire drills have been re-
|gular occurrences there for years.
Happier days when the school
was comparatively new were re-
called along the sidelines. Mrs.
Ray Tenney was a member of the
first class graduated from the
building, 1906, while her daughter,
Marian, was in the last. Blair
Philbrick carried out a picture of
the 1912 class, found his fathers
picture on it.
Scnool board members visioned
long and busy sessions concerning
plans for a new building and in
locating quarters for classes until
lit can be built. Fortunately the
last payment on the old building
was made a year ago and it was
well insured, providing funds at
least for good beginning. Ap-
plication may be made for PWA
grant to help finance the new
building.
Workmen finished work on the
first floor at 2:30 Friday afternoon
and moved the floor sander to the
second floor where electrical pow
'er to operate the machine came
through the second floor switch
box.
No power, apparently, had been
used through the switchbox blam-
ed for the fire for several hours be-
fore workmen left the building yet
there was no fire or smoke when
they left. Mr.. Gray was the last
to visit the building under normal
circumstances, turning the key be-
hind him at about 6 p. m. Friday
after working there during the af-
ternoon.

dwellings only a few feet from the
burning structure. The brick walls
served to confine the fire after the
roof went out and only one other
building, the Longbottom house on
Wyoming street, was even slight
ly damaged. A small roof fire
there was quickly extinguished.
Smoke continued to roll from
the structure and fire gnawed at
the joists and beams until the up
per ceiling, the upper floor and
lower floor ceiling tumbled, in Sec
tions, to the grade floor and sec
tions of wall, of wood construc-
tion, burst into flames periodically
as fremen moved about the build
ing with the hoses, pouring water
on the worst sections through
broken windows.
Comparatively early in the
fight, about 8 a. M, section of
the front wall from the second
story floor to the roof and 40 feet
or more long caved in as steel
girders snapped. Fortunately it
fell mostly inside and no firemen
or spectators, of which there were
hundreds, were injured. Old tim
ers among the onlookers said there
was criticism of the manner o.
construction of this section of the
building years ago and Fire Chic
j. M. Corbett agreed that thi:
should not have happened in {
brick building.
Hasty conclusions drawn by frs
arrivers on the scene were tina
the fire was confined to the atti'
and could be controlled. Firemen
however, recognized at once tina
they had long mornings worl
on their hands with little hope o.
saving great deal of the build
ing. Although the water suppl!
was at no time near exhaustion, i
was necessary to conserve water
from the first because of th'
danger that the fire might spread
through the thiclkly built up sec
tion of the city.
Perhaps the saddesr person Al
the scene was R. w. "Bob" Whyte
janitor at the building since i
was constructed, who has takel
personal pride in the condition o.

Reports circulating through the
crowd that there was a thousand
dollars worth of coal in the base
ment were false. The bin contain
ed only a few ton left from last
winter. With WPA labor, a new
coal bin was to have been started
at the school Monday. When Clam
cy Keefe, his assistant, called
George Matson, WPA chief of the
county that morning, saying, Lets
go to the high school," Matson re-
piled "What for, we have every
thing in shape to start" It was
minutes before Matson could be
convinced the place was afire. This
was true of dozens of citizens,
many of whom came downtown and
opened their places Of business be-
fore learning that the worst fire
the city has had in years was in
progress.
| The alarm was turned in by
four persons in few moments of
each other and firemen rushed
from their homes, without break
fast, for a full mornings work.
Flames broke out occasionally all
afternoon as the fire fighting job
became a comparatively quiet
pastime of putting out recurrent
blazes.
| Firemen will remember the
lthoughtfulness of Mrs. Ray
Knowlton, Mrs. Tom Seifert and
Joyce Richert who prepared and
lserved sandwiches and coffee for
them while Claus Maurstad distri-
Ibuted milk.
! Seventeen firemen battled the fire,
several being away with Company
IL, and 25 or 80 volunteers includ-
ling a number of former high
lschool students, got taste of sal
vaging and fire fighting. Chief
Corbett expressed the depart
ment's thanks for their help.

considerable work to get the build
ing in good shape for the opening
of school in September. Mr.. Whyte
has been the good friend of every
one of the more than 1000 alumni
who have completed their courses
there.
Planning to start with his fami-
ly for Ely, Minnesota, where he
had rented cabin for a two weeks
outing, Reede Gray learned of the
fire only shortly before they would
have started. Coolly directing and
assisting in removing trophies,
pictures and other items which
could never be replaced, he had
little time to think of suitable
quarters for classes until new
structure can be erected, but he
calmly remarked that they could
be found. This week, after COM
pleting some of the preliminary
work, the Grays left for a short
vacation.
Mixed emotions were expressed
by school children at the scene. To
alumni and undergraduates, the
building was a sort of second
