1934 – 1935 A hall and a schoolSokolovňa a škola

The First Czechoslovak Republic reached a town like this mostly through its buildings. In 1934 Hanušovce opened a Sokolovňa, the hall of the Sokol gymnastic movement, which in Czechoslovakia meant sport, drill, lectures, amateur theatre and a good deal of politics all in one room. In 1935 a new burgher school was built. For a place with no factory and, until then, no railway, a hall and a school were the whole of modern life — and both were used hard.Prvá Česko-slovenská republika sa do takéhoto mesta dostávala predovšetkým cez stavby. V roku 1934 otvorili v Hanušovciach sokolovňu, teda telocvičňu sokolského hnutia, ktorá v Česko-Slovensku znamenala šport, cvičenie, prednášky, ochotnícke divadlo aj poriadny kus politiky, a to všetko v jednej sále. V roku 1935 pribudla nová meštianska škola. Pre miesto bez fabriky a dovtedy aj bez železnice boli sála a škola celým moderným životom — a obe sa využívali naplno.
