So many students applied for
admission to shop and metal
work classes in high school this
year that many of them had to be
refused.
The shops and work rooms oc-
cupy almost an entire wing in the

al drawing room, a metal work
room with two electric FORCES, a
shop room and a paint room.
Wayne Braker, shop instructor,
has an attractive office with cases
for the smaller articles made by
his pupils.
Another special room is the

Coach Ben Tom and his assist
ants held long practice sessions
this week with special instruction
for ends and tackles whom they
feel face Spartan task in trying
to stop the double wing back
plays of Marshall's Tigers who
seek to revenge many a Cardinal
upset under the lights here Friday
night.
The Redwood board of strategy
watched Bernie Coles aggrega-
ton as it scored almost at will
against Pipestone last week and
came home convinced that it is as
outstanding among conference
teams this year as the Cardinals
were last year.
The Tigers piled up 80 points
each against their first three OPP
ponents and 80 against Pipestone
which is some record in any
league. Tom has his fingers
crossed, hoping for a combination
of circumstance which might pro-
duce an upset. If we have our
team at full strength and they
put out" their best game, if the
jinx which Redwood teams have

DR.. John G.. Rockwell, COM
missioner of education of
Minnesota, will give the prin-
cipal address at dedication
exercises for the new Red
wood Falls High school build
ing next Wednesday evening
in the new auditorium-gym-
nasium.
The program will be brief
and the evening will be de-
voted to giving citizens of
the community and visitors
an opportunity to inspect the
structure and visit classes
which will hold special half
hour sessions that evening.
Captain r. A. Radford, who
was PWA director for Minnesota
when the project was undertaken,
will be here for an address if
possible. Captain Radford recent
ly was placed in charge of the re-
gional PWA office at Omaha, di-
recting eight states, but has adj
vised the board that he will make
every effort to be here.
George Pass Jr. of Mankato,
will present the building to the
board of education, representing
the architectural firm of Pass and
Rockey who designed both the
Lincoln building and the new
high school. 1t will be accepted
by DIR. A. Asleson, president of
the board of education.
Superintendent Reede Gray will
introduce DR.. Rockwell and Park
er D. Sanders, clerk of the board,
will make other introductions.
Besides the speakers and MEM
bers of the board, places will be
reserved on the stage for repre-
sentative of the clergy and of the
three principal contracting firms,

the local board visited when plans
for the building were under con-
sideration also were invited.
The program will begin at 7:30
with music by the high school
band and will include speaking
and showing of motion pictures
of the school under construction.
Glasses will then convene for two
half-hour periods so that parents
and others interested may see the
system in operation. The two per-

SoundSystem
Almost Magic
In Operation
CONTACT POSSIBLE TO
ALL OR ANY ROOM
FROM OFFICES

Visitors hearing the sound sys-
tenn in the new high school for
the first time will be amazed at
the almost magic working of the
mechanism.
A master control panel located
in the office of Miss Muriel An
Qerson, school secretary, makes it
possible to send announcements,
radio or photograph numbers or
programs originating within the
school to any place in either
building, to all rooms at once or
to a single or any group of rooms.
The system is equipped with a
''talk-Cack'' arrangement so that
instructors or pupils may answer
messages from the office without
moving from their places in the
Classroom.
The system is the only one of
its kind anywhere which has an
auxiliary control panel. This is
located in the office of Principal
J. J. SaIzWedel. He may call all
or any of the junior or senior high
school instructors and is connect
ed directly with the main office.
There are sc speakers in class
rooms and other rooms in the
building. Besides receiving mes
SageS, they are capable of send
ing answers as a microphone is
installed in the speaker cabinet
which will pick up the voice from
any corner of the room.
Teachers may send messages to
the office by pushing a button
which signals through light on
the control board and the operator
there connects them with the Of
fee.
The system will also make it
possible to broadcast play by play
reports of basketball games and
other athletic events in the audit
Crium for the benefit of the au-
dience there Overflow crowds
may hear the games in class
rooms, if necessary. The gymna-
sium-auditorium is equipped with
two large speakers.
Two radio programs and a
photograph program may be sent
to three different rooms or groups
of rooms at the same time and a
lecture or explanation of the pro-
grams may be Superimposed on
any one or all three. The phono-
graph is equipped with an auto
matte record changer.

81 Soap Outlets
at School Fill
Automatically

It's pipe to keep a supply of
soap available in all Mushrooms
of the new high school building,
according to janitors there.
The liquid lathering material
is piped to 81 valves throughout
the place from a 80 gallon tank In
the equipment room. A glass
gauge ON the tank tells janitors
when the supply is running low.
Compressed air, also used on
the temperature control system
forces the soap to outlets. It never
cakes in the pipe lines as it is
under 80 pounds of pressure and
the air blows dried particles along
with the rest of the material.

Auditorium
Comfortable
AT All Times
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
OF TEMPERATURE
IN ALL ROOMS

There are four types of venti-
lating units in the new high school
building. One heats and venti-
lates classrooms, another is OPP
Grated especially for the gymna-
sum- auditorium while a third
ventilates lavatories and a fourth,
the shower rooms.
The system used for the audi
torium-gymnasium has been
carefully planned to provide COM
fort for crowds attending events
there. A large fan in the equip
ment room on the first floor forces
air over heated coils into the
gymnasium in the winter and in
the summer its speed is doubled
to force cool air into the huge
room. Some of the fresh air Ell
tiers the auditorium through grills
az some is, forced in through
mushroom-shaped valves located
under the balcony seats. This
system does away with the hot
and stuffy condition usually pre-
valent in crowded balconies.
Temperature is thermostatical-
ly controlled in every instance,
and each classroom has its own
automatic control system. The
Cuddy company of Mankato
which installed the heating and
plumbing also put in the univent
system in the Lincoln school,
which was one of the first systems
of its kind in the state. The me-
chanisms were changed this sum-
mer for efficiency and quietness.
Two stokers which together can
feed half ton of coal an hour at
top speed, although such a cap
acity will not be required, fur
nish heat for the high school and
Lincoln buildings.

ELECTRIC EYES
MAINTAIN GOOD
LIGHT IN ROOMS

One of the very modern aspects
of the new school building is the
electric eye" system which au-
tomatically turns on lights when
natural light falls below certain
candle power and switches them
off again when natural light is
sufficient for classroom work.
The ''eyes" contain photo
electric cells. One eye is located
in a representative room on each
of the four sides of the building.
They are designed to alleviate
eyestrain and to save electricity.
Another aid to pupils eyes are
the tilted blackboards used in all
classrooms. They are attached to
walls on slant and thus do not
reflect glaring light.

Permanent Beauty,
Easy Maintenance
Factors in School

Marble wainscoting in the
main corridor presents a dignifed
appearance to those entering the
new high school building. 1t is
buff colored and walls above it
reflect the shade and tome.
There are two recessed trophy
cases in the corridor, lighted by
indirect fixtures and a pay tele-
phone booth cut into one wall is
another innovation.
Tiled wainscoting is used in
the other halls. 1t is also buff
with brown borders.
The lavatories and rest rooms
are as attractive as those found in
any private home. Girls rest
rooms are tiled in peach and rose
on wainscoting and floor and
those for boys are in green with
cream walls and ceilings.

pride in anything unusually at

He added that while the tile adds
appreciably to the appearance of
the place it is also easy to main
tain.

School Enrolment
Jump Anticipated
in Building Plans

Cough classroom space has
been provided in the new high
school to accommodate the expan-
sion in program and enrolment
which has been taking place and
will III doubtedly continue.
There are 81 class rooms in adj
dition to the gymnasium-a auditor
ium, work rooms, store rooms and
rest rooms. At present there are
900 pupils enrolled in the Red
wood Falls school system. The
plant is adequate for 1900 without
croWding.
