Giving Place to the New

 

Sharon High will open next fall [September 1924] in the new building on East Hill.  Construction was begun on this building in 1923 under the supervision of the School Board composed of:  Charles H. Pearson, President; H. K. Becht, Vice President; Walter Whitehead, Secretary; W. S. Palmer, Treasurer; H. J. Filer, W. C. Leffingwell, Marion Love, and as graduation approaches [June 1924], the work is nearing completion.

 

The building is planned with accommodations for 1000 students and a faculty of 50.  The cost is estimated at $600,000.

 

The splendid equipment and increased capacity give promise of a steady continuation of the long and successful career of the Old School.
