14        MANIT'OW"OC, THE CITY OF OPPORTUNITIES
Manitowoc Schools
   Manitowoc boasts one of the finest high schools
 in the middle-west. Among the points of in-
 terest in the city, Lincoln High School on the hill,
 is not the least. After showing friends and vis-
 itors about the city it is customary to end the
 tour at the high school. The building, which is
 located on a seventeen acre site on the shores of
 Lake Michigan, is planned    to accommodate
 about 1,100 students. It is designed in the Gothic
 style and is made majestic by a beautiful tower
 which is lighted with flood lights every night.
 For miles on both Lake Michigan and the state
 highways leading into Manitowoc this "tower of
 learning" looms up as a significant beacon rep-
 resenting the community's interest in education.
 The auditorium and gymnasium are separate
 wings of the building. The auditorium seats
 1,200 people and has all modern stage equip-
 ment. Here the community gathers to witness
 school productions as well as to participate in
 civic welfare programs.
 The gymnasium is the center of all of the ath-
 letic contests, particularly those of the indoor
 type. It is being supplemented with a nata-
torium that is being built in 1929. This nata-
torium is to be a cornnlere iinit hnuimina n

quate dressing rooms, lockers and lavatories.
  The playgrounds surrounding the building in-
clude a natural football bowl, a separate track
and field area, eight tennis courts, and other
minor sports playing areas. The landscaping
on the grounds is unique and contributes to the
general completeness of the whole unit. The
trees and shrubbery and beautiful lawns are care-
fully nurtured and groomed by regular caretakers.
  The school has a high scholastic record and
offers all major academic courses. A complete
activity program is also a part of the offering of
