Fire at New RS High School

Herald of Dec. 19, 1924

From Dec. 15, 1949 Edition

A fire broke out in the walls and partitions of the new Roaring Spring High School building Wednesday afternoon, and did much damage to the building and contents, threatening to destroy the entire building before being brought under control.

The largest attendance on record, installation of officers for the new year and a banquet, featured the December get-together meeting of the members of Murray-Appleman Post 147 American Legion at Roaring Spring, with Geo. L. Horner being installed as the new commander.

On Tuesday evening, a surprise party was held at the home of Harry S. Burket on Piney Creek, in honor of the eighteenth birthday of their daughter Pearl.

In 1924 more than 22,000 persons were killed and 678,000 injured in street and highway incidents throughout the nation.
