The New High School And 1 I Educational Plant Will Be Second To None In State

IN ADDITION TO SUPPLYING THE CITY WITH ALL SCHOOL i FACILITIES FOR MANY YEARS. THE NEW PLANT WILL ■| BE A COMMUNITY CENTER WITH LIBRARY, ETC.

When completed Ocean Cfty will. , j have a new high school and cdu- j ! rational plant, second to none in 1 ; ; the entire state., Larger schools 1 , j there are, but none better either !in style ami const ruction, or in i equipment for school purposes. , * j ! A more admirable site could not' j I* imagined. Located pructicaD v ; [on the beach front, the cheekV^i*; i teachers and pupils fanned by tnc tonic breath of the sen, a healthier; ' spot could not be desired. With a frontage of lh.'t feet und a depth of 200 feet, inc lading the gymnasium; the structure will possess a capacity of over one million cubic feet. The exterior of "the school, designed in an artistic style of architecture will be constructed with I i tapestry brick, ornamented with ; i limestone. The main entrance fares out on Atlantic avenue, while the [entrance to the public library, a , | section separate and apart from | that occupied by tjje school, will lie j - Ijonted on Sixth street. The structure will lie absolutely j. i-fireproof with accommodation for , Isoo pupils. t A most valuable feature of the I , I entire scheme, is tlie large audi-, . jtorium with a seating capacity of! one thousand. A splendidly con-j . strutted stage, measuring 30 by [, l'J feet, with dressing rooms on L [either side, will contain all the 'lighting effects and appointments ! necessary to stage any form of .entertainment, dramatic or musi-j |cal of modest pretentions. Tlic plans include an organ loft, built) , [for the installation of a pipe or-j jgan, if the citizens of the comjmuiiity will sponsor the entc£-| prise. Whether or not an organ) ; will l« added, depends upon the; measure of civic pride and enterprise in the citizens of the community. The auditorium and its appoint - ' mcnts form no small part in the ■ hope Prof. Stevens cherishes, of ' making, the school a real communcenter. The lower floor will contain a t swimming pool, 4b feet long. ■ 22 feet wide. W nine feet i deep in the deepest part. Tlie pool ' I will be constructed of white tile, - and a white cement floor. Showand lockers in ample numbers . for boys and girls are in- . eluded. . On the same floor the spacious I I gymnasium may be found. Tlie gymnasium will be equipped with applianoe in common usage. ( and will have accommodation fori 250 spectators. Thus, ample provision is made j ! for the pupils in the way of rec-( ' reation and physical development. 1 long parade corridors ore in- i eluded, designed for drills, marchand setting up exercises. > The educational requirements of i the pupils are equally as wefl pro- ' vided for in the design. Large! airy classrooms, study halls, school J

Access to the pub-' 1 i lie library will be by a seperate "| entrance, as also to the room in-l ' i eluded for the use of ex-service I jjmcn. jV The heating and ventilating of | : the structure will be constructed ; on the unit system and so installed . that the building may he heated j as a whole, or in part, as may be , f The lighting system will be as . near "perfection as humanly possible to construct, while a master , clock, electrically connected with all other docks in the school, will t secure uniformity of time for all I departments. ln the construction of the foun- - dations, no expense is being spared s to make them secure. In brief, the - plan's include everything necessary to justify the daring statement, s that no finer school and aducatione al plant wlll.be found in the entire K state.

Russell Henry ; ; Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars' i with a very handsome silk flag. I , John G. Dennis presided as mas- l i tor of ceremonies, performing the ; j duties of the office in an iiical man- j The llag was being presented thc[' Post, Mr. Dennis explained, in mpmory of the one after whom the [ Post had been named, who until his 1 I death had been a member of the ' r order and the local Council.. ' [ After the invocation delivered by Dr. John Handley, the chairman 1 called upon State Vice Counciliof, ' " F. W. Losaw, nf Newark, to ad- 1 dress the meeting. In a very interesting speech, Mr. Losaw outlined in brief the cardi- 1 nal principles of the fraternity. 1 Referring to the object of the ' [meeting. Mr. Losaw stated that so 1 many lacked a true comprehension 1 • of. the sacrifices made by the men f who served in the World War. It I is true that many had returned safe and unharmed; nevertheless : when they bade goodbye to friends and sailed for the scene of battle, ' thev were prepared to make the supreme sacrifice if needs be, and ' . few thought, they would survive, to 1 t sec their native heath again. 1 t Prior to the meeting the Bugle i and Drum Corps of the Post par- ' t aded through the streets, aecom- J i panied by members of the Council. ^ . At the request of the chair, the i Corps ably demonstrated their abil ^ I ity with bugle and drum, in a se- > lection full of martial fire and en- ^ ' tliusiasm. , J. B. Maguire, of Plennantvillc, » and a member of Excelsior Council. fanned into flame the smoul- ' r ilcring fires of patriotism, with an j ' impassioned speech, during which • he eloquently advocated closer ad- ' herance to the teachings of the Bible, as the one hope for the pre- ' crvntion of American democracy. The nation which abandons the ' 1 paths of rectitude and righteous- • nefr. he declared,/ was a nation • • .loomed to ruin, as nations had • fallen in the long centuries past. | At this juncture an interruption ' occurred, by the appearance of the " l-adies Bugle and Drum Corps, as- ' soctoted with the Lieut. J. Willis I 1 Gale Post of Atlantic City. Led • by Mrs. John L. Kaptain, the la- " dies presented a most attractive : appearance in their uniforms,! " marching and deporting themselves; ' to typically martial style.. The Corps ren.ibred a selection, which won for them round after round of applause. An attempt was- made to comj bine the Atlantic City instrumen- | talists. with the members cf the lo- ' cal corps for a massed selection. The attempt howeevr, ended in 1 - disaster. The bugles failed to har- < monizc, the local buglers playing a full lone higher In pitch than 1 the visitors. e The formal presentation of the] ' flag was made by Dr. John Hand- j ' '• ley. in making the- presentation,; Dr. Handley declared, "he could 1 confer no greater ' honor upon a [ • body of ex-service men. In a very peculiar sense the Stars and " Stripes was their flag, the emblem for which they had crossed a wide ocean to suffer and sacrifice. It b was a most happy idea conceived h hv the Council of Junior Mechanics, to Jtallow the memory of a '• brother by presenting the flag une .ler which he had died, to the Post y named after him. ; Dr. Vernon T. Cox, of Atlantic r- City, accepted the gift in behalf e of the L. Russell Henry Post. He d assured the generous donors that the members of the Post would reh ganl the flag as their greatest o treasure. •' State Treasurer W. K. Multa. n was the last speaker of the oecas- . ion. In the course of his remarks Mr. Multa volunteered the information that ten thousand young i. men affiliated wifh (he Junior Or* fc jder of Mechanics, were to the ser- - 1 vice duriftg the war, and many had i- made the supreme sacrifice in de-l-j fence of their country and flag. | ADVERTISE IN THE SENTINEL
