Now you Know...H. B.
McLean's article can be read on the Blythwood Historical Society's
website. He refers to the rostrum more as a stage in his
recollections of the Blythewood School. Susan W. had the
first correct answer! Thanks to the many people who answered
the question.
Did you Know...In 1938
students of the Blythewood High School published their own
newsletter called Blythe-Words. They speak of a $17,000 WPA
construction project being completed by December 1938. The
structure was made of brick, hardwood floors, 108 feet long and 70
feet wide. The students reported that "the splendid structure
was planned by the state architects and is unique in that it has a
V shaped roof." This building is still standing seventy
five years later. Name the building.
