Upon motion voted :- That the High School to be built as a Memorial un- der the terms of the Will of Willis E. Morse be located on the "Mill Lot." so-called consisting of the Frank E. Sargent lot, the Kate Lane and Eliza Lane lots or so much of the same as the committee deems advisable, and that the Building Committee purchase the same and the rights of all persons interested therein; also to arrange for the grading and drainage of the same and to award contracts therefor, and that the Treasurer make such payments for the same as shall be approved by the Building Committee.


At a later date another special town meeting was held, at which time, a vote was passed revoking the votes passed at the meeting of August 23, 1930 and at which time, a vote was taken as to the pur- chase of the Chase or Ryder lot. The vote was 97 to 58 in favor of the Ryder lot.


At the annual town meeting held March, 1931, the action of the committee in retaining the services and accepting the plans for a combination school building, as drawn by Pulsifer and Eye, Inc., architects of Lewiston, Maine, was approved, and confirmed by the trustees of the Morse Estate.


There were many who were strong of the opinion that a building of this type and for this purpose, should be located on a lot which would show it to better advantage, and at a special town meeting held April 17, 1931, an article appeared in the warrant as follows: "To see if the town will instruct the building committee to sell the Ryder lot and purchase the Mill lot and relocate the proposed new school building on same." By a vote of 94 to 43 it was voted to re- tain the Ryder lot. .


LOCATION


The Ryder lot so-called was formerly owned by Charles W. Ryder and adjoins the present school house on the south. The purchase price was $250.00 and contains about two and three quarters acres.
