NINIZTEEN TXVENTY-FOUR MIRROR A Day Dream HE Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School opened its doors to the pupils of the district in September 1922 with an enrollment of 1,384. This enrollment was increased to 1,519 the second term, 1,662 the third termg 1,816 the fourth term, and 1,951 'the fifth term. The attendance department has furnished the calculations for September of 1924, and according to the predictions of this department, we are advised to be prepared to accommodate 2,287 pupils at that time. These calculations do not take into consideration the natural increase in population as a result of the fact that our school is located in the Ford district. Wlien this fact is considered, we have reason to believe that our enrollment will reach 2,400 in September of 1924, and this enroll- ment will completely fill the present building. Under these circumstances it must be perfectly plain to the most cas- ual observer that a new Junior High School must be built in this commun- ity in the near future. The exact location of this school must be deter- mined by the Board of Education. It may not be out of place for indi- vidual citizens, however, to suggest locations which seem feasible. The above picture represents a day dream which the writer has had regarding the location of this new school. It would not be diilicult to point out an actual saving of at least S150,000.00 to the taxpayers if this day dream were made a reality. -PHILIP E. CARLSON. , I Page Forty-Our'
