l l l l l This Ianuary the addition to the high school building was completed. A soundproof band room, connecting commercial rooms and two other class rooms have reduced congestion and taken most senior high classes out of the Central building. Not only were the basketball court and gymnasium greatly increased, but the facilities of the whole physical education program were much enlarged and improved. Concentrating those activities in the new part of the building also makes possible the convenience and economy ot using that portion of the building without having the rest open.
