One Man Looks
At God
(By Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland Maryland

One Of the highlights of Christ
| life was his teaching ministry. He
spent more time trying to teach the
thousands and the small groups
who came to hear what he had to
say than in any other task. Matthew
has organized his gospel in such
a way that the teachings of Christ
fall into separate categories. The
most comprehensive of these
groupings is that section of Mat
thew, chapters five through seven
which we know as The Sermon
on the Mount" During the next
few weeks, | will attempt to pre-
sent some of these basic teachings,
as part of the current series on
the important events in the life of
Jesus
The opening part of Christ's
teachings have been presented by
Matthew as The Beatitudes. .
Blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
is the first of these "Beatitudes. d"
To be poor in spirit is absolutely
necessary for the Christian faith.
Many times during his ministry
he refers to this idea, many times
he openly speaks that a man must
first of all be humble before he
can expect to get any place in the
Kingdom. There are no rooms in
heaven for the man who is inter
ested mainly in the personal ac-
cOmplishments of his life. To these
proud people | can imagine Christ
saying. Surely you do not believe
that another has not done what you
do in a better way, or that some
day some one will not far exceed
your ability in this field There is
no man SO great that he cannot
learn something from another man
no man so stupid that cannot
teach something TO another And
God so far surpasses the under
standing of human beings, that it
amazcS me that any man can look
at the vast complex, yet infinitely
perfect universe that God has
wrought. and yet remain proud of
the infinitely small thing that he
can do Never did a structure of
man equal the grandeur of the
Grand Canyon; never will any
thing that man makes equal the
solar system of which our world
is part, and when we realize that
our solar system is only very
small speck in the vast reaches of
the creation that we know about.
lie the Milky Way, it makes any of
us feel pretty small next to Gods
power and Gods understanding.
Yet man continues to try to make
himself bigger than God by refus-
ing to accept the revelation of God
in his life, by refusing to accept
the clear words of Christ in his
preaching, and by trying to solve
the problems of his existence with
out the wisdom of God in his word,
both written and revealed in the
person of Christ.
Therefore the message of Christ:
blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven
is message par excellence for our
time

Chardon PTA resolution, ad-
opted in the fall of 1947 - ten
years ago - for a long range
high school building program:
Survey Committee of the
Parent Teachers Association
recommends to the Board of
Education of the Chardon
Community School:
81. That an architect be
commissioned to draw plans
for a unit type plant for the
Chardon Secondary school.
80. That the unit of the arch
itechitect's plans which best
meets the present needs of
the school program be adopt
ed for immediate construction.
''3. That a bond levy for the
maximum sum for which the
Chardon Community S C h o |
can be bonded be placed on
the November 1948 ballot.
~. That the new school
plant shall be located on the
Chardon Booster property.
"5. That the present proper
ty now owned by the Board
on Washington st. and Fifth
Ave. be liquidated and funds
used for the new building pro-
gram"

The Chardon community has
a high school plant which cost
only $4,000 shy of one million
dollars, according to the Sche-
dule of actual construction and
completion costs submitted to
the Board of Education by Arch
itect Arthur F. SidellS.
AT the completion of the gym
naSium the construction of the
Chardon Junior Senior High
School has reached a stage of
practical completion" S d e S
said today.
''All requirements in the orr
ginal construction program eS-
tabhshed in 1949 have been pro-
vided," he said, with the ex-
ception of the SOO-seat auditori-
UNI.
This unit was to be located in
the southeast corner where the
entrance between the one-story
classroom wing and the two-Sto-
ry special purpose room wing
join.
"Since seating at both first
floor and balcony levels has
been provided in the gymnaSi-
UNI, the auditorium function is
included in the present build
ing," he said.
In the original studies the ov-
eraH estimated cost of construi-
ton was $722 300. Actual con.
struction cost to date is $3.50 $50.
In spite of continuously rising
construction costs over the past
eight and one-half years, this is
a cost increase of just under IA
percent, Sidells pointed out.

The Chardon High School bull
ding, on Chardon Ave. just off
Rt. "A, was first conceived at a
joint board and PTA mass meet
ing in the fall of 1947 when the
need for more buildings, class
rooms and grounds became ur-
gent.
Mr.. George Talbot was then
superintendent and was largely
responsible for gathering mater
ial and formulating plans for the
new building.
At this meeting it was recon-
mended that the new high school
be built on the booster property.
The board purchased additional
land to obtain frontage on Char
don Ave. and this, added to the
eight and one-half acres donat-
ed by the Booster Club, consti-
tuted the site for the high school
building.
Later the board interviewed a
number of architectural firms
and from these selected Arthur
Sidells to prepare plans for a
unit-type high school plant which
could be built in stages as mon
ey became available.
At the December 1947 meeting
this board took the necessary
steps to place a bond issue of
$210,00 before the voters. This
was the maximum amount al
lowed by law at that time.
The issue passed in the Nov
ember election of 1948 and the
contract was let to build the
first unit of the present high
school, which consisted of six
standard classroomS, a cafeteria
and kitchen and offices. These
rooms were completed in May
1851 and occupied by the upper
elementary grades for the next
two years.
The elementary school was
growing rapidly, taking more
and more space from the high
school area. This growth has
been at the rate of two class
rooms per year since the build
ing program has been undertake
en-. There are now five sections
each of grades one through five
in the elementary school.
In 1850 the board and Schoo.
administration deemed it nee
esSary to try to complete the
high school north of town by ad
ding stages two (the science
. wing), three (the physical edu
cation wing, and four (the shoI
!. area, as soon as money was av
| ailable.
More bonding capacity thel
! existed because of increased
property valuation and because
the legislature had increased tht
I amount of Logan bonded indebt
edness to eight per cent.
A $339 900 bond issue was ap
proved which it was hoped woulC
complete unit two( the science
wing, along with the gymnasium
and shop areas. But when bid!
were opened costs had risen 81
much that only the science wins
was bound to be possible.
The board and school authori
! ties went ahead with the build
| ing Of the science wing, know

Million Dollar Project
Took Ten Years to Build

ing full well that more room
would be needed Immediately
for the high school occupancy.
- After considerable delibera-
tion it was decided to ask for
another 500, 900 in the spring of
1852 to build as much of the
physical education plant as
would be possible.
BY careful planning, the boys
and girls shower and locker
rooms, the former recreation
room, together with directors
offices were obtained. These
rooms are parts of the original
plans drawn by the architect in
1947 but with only the easterly
portion of the planned gym wing
being built.
This temporary recreation
room area was utilized as part
Of the new gymnasium, built in
1956-57. Due to rapid increases
in construction the building of
the recreation area in 1858, its
partial demolition, and then the
construction of the new gymna-
SUM on parts of the same foun-
dation.
The recreation room area in
1858 gave the school a tempor-
ary assembly room and recrea-
ton space which allowed the
movement of the top four grad
es to the new location. After six
years of planning, the grade
school, which had occupied the
building since 1851, was evicted
and the high school moved into
its new structure in May 1853.
e. Desperately needed space wa
thereby freed for the ever-ex-
panding elementary and junior
high schools.
In 1855, due to increased tax
duplicate, bonds having been
paid off and due to the fact
that the legal debt limit was
raised to nine per cent, it was
decided to try again to COM
plete the physical education
structure and build unit three,
consisting of shops and music
rooms which were Sorely need
ed.
A $235 900 bond issue was pass
ed in November 1854 and, after
some unforeseen delays, bids
were let in August of 1855. Again
the rising costs of labor and
: material, due to the spiral of
, initiation, brought the bids for
: these units to over $3.50, 900, al
most $4,000 more than the a.
/ mount available.
The board then decided to
build the shop and music rooms
and also the much-needed park
: ing areas and other ground i'm
provementS, at a total cost of
: $169 900. This left approximately
$65, GOO to be applied to the phys
ical education building compile
ton,
In May 1856 the voters approx
ed the fifth and final bond issue
for construction at the high
school. Ad additional 5000, 900
was allotted for completion of
the gymnasium, a project set
aside since 1858 because of the
more pressing needs for class
room space.
The gymnasium was begun
Immediately following the pas
sage of the bond issue, and COM
pleted in September 1857. 1t was
: constructed in such a manner
, that during most Of the period
the recreation room was usable,
even though the gymnasium was
being built around and over 1t.
/ During the decade in which the
high school plant was built,
Chardon School District taxpay-
: erS voted five bond issues, rails
ing 81 ,074, 900. Total contraction
: and completion costs were $780,
580.68.
