We had a wonderful celebration on Saturday! Thank you to all who participated and attended. 💜💛 Special thanks to the McClain High School Alumni Association for planning the ceremony. It was a great day! 😊🐅 #legacyofleadership #mcclaintigers
We are just 1 day away from celebrating Edward Lee McClain Day and the Centennial of the Greenfield Middle School and the Old Vocational Building, which includes the natatorium. The ceremony will begin at 2:00 p.m. on July 20 in the MHS cafetorium. 😊
Sadly, there are only a few pictures that were taken of the construction of the Old Vocational Building and what was then known as Greenfield Elementary School and now known as Greenfield Middle School. Also included in this post are a drawing of the "complete plant" and a description of what could be found in the three buildings. Both the drawing with the accompanying description are from The Dragon, Volume XXII, Number 8, Dated February 17, 1925. It should be noted that the drawing was created before completion of the project having appeared in an earlier edition of the Dragon on February 27, 1923.
➡️ TRIVIA QUESTION - How many bricks were required for the construction of both buildings, not including the bricks salvaged from the Central Building which were used for constructing inner walls? 🤔 Take a guess in the comments below. ⬇️
Finally, a few pictures from today ~ It was a gorgeous day to be on campus. 💜💛
We hope that you will join us tomorrow to celebrate Edward Lee McClain and a 100 year birthday! 🥳

We are just 2 days away from celebrating Edward Lee McClain Day and the Centennial of the Greenfield Middle School and the Old Vocational Building, which includes the natatorium. The ceremony will begin at 2:00 p.m. on July 20 in the MHS cafetorium. 😊
We shared about the word natatorium on Monday, but let's take a deeper dive into the pool by checking out an early description written in 1924.
➡️ The entire pool is lined with small squares of white tile. The distance across the length of the pool is numbered on either side, the figures being inlaid in the tile.
➡️ In preparing for a swim, one would dress in one of the magnificently equipped and roomy dressing rooms.
➡️ On entering, one need have no fear of the water for it is being changed all the time the pool is in use.
➡️ Upon leaving, even the most delicate could not complain of being cold for arranged around the pool are seventeen radiators, five being arranged in a semi-circle in the west end where one may roast to his heart's content.
➡️ Out of range of possible sprays of water is a balcony for spectators entirely circling the pool.
➡️ And all in all it is perfect down to two drinking fountains at the eastern end. 💜💛
We hope that you will join us this weekend to celebrate Edward Lee McClain and a 100 year birthday! 🥳

We are just 3 days away from celebrating Edward Lee McClain Day and the Centennial of the Greenfield Middle School and the Old Vocational Building, which includes the natatorium. The ceremony will begin at 2:00 p.m. on July 20 in the MHS cafetorium.
A recent tour guest asked if classes are still held upstairs in the Old Vocational Building. The answer is yes. 😊 Classes are still held in all of the classrooms on the second floor. The hallway houses our entire high school math department.
Check out the pictures below along with a picture of a typewriting and shorthand class. The second floor has not changed much other than upgrades needed to meet educational needs today. The area still has its historic charm. 💜💛
