The now addition, on the first floor ha3 a complete layout, for hone economics, and shops which are in the main junior high school departments. The fact that the home economics department is located just across tho corridor from the large stage-gymnasium which is eighty-four feet long by fifty feet wide, makes possible the serving of large banquots with the least amount of trouble and expense. In connection with the home economics layout, mention should also be mado that fche sewing room was made large enough that it is used as a cafeteria or lunch room for fifty or more seated at one time. Other provisions on this floor are: one largo classroom, a storeroom and offices, the auditorium with four hundred seats, and gymnasium together with dressing room facilities.
