More about this memorial. Since this wing of the building was not built until 1929, this plaque was likely initially located elsewhere—perhaps on the side of the building that became an inside wall when the addition was built. Alternatively, the Class of 1920 gave this plaque on their 10th anniversary and placed it where it is now.
