PARK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The part of the Harrisburg Independent School District which embraces Magnolia Park, Central Park, and Pine View has grown at such rapid rate for the past few years that it has been next to im- possible to keep the schools up with the increase in scholastic popu- lation. The Magnolia Park Elementary School building has been en- larged several times in an effort to care for the ever increasing num- ber of children sent to it. Before this year, that school enrolled all children in these communities from the first to the seventh grades inclusive. Those above the seventh grade were sent to the Harrisburg High School. Last year it was decided to re-organize the schools on the 5-3-3 plan, and to carry out a building program in the District that would adequately care for the growth in population. The voting of bonds, and the erection of the Milby Senior High School and the Park Junior High School were the results of this decision. At the opening of school in September, the Park Junior High School began its first year in the Baptist Sunday School buildings and in the rooms on the second floor of the Magnolia Park Elementary School. Needless to say, we were handicapped very much by this very unsatisfactory housing condition. After days of waiting that had lengthened into weeks, we were per- mitted to move into the first unit of the Park Junior High School building on December 14, 1925. Since that time we have been comfortably housed, although we have been handicapped by the littered condition of the campus, and the noise necessitated by the construction of the other units of the building. When our building is completed, we will have a splendid modern school plant to house the students of Park Junior High School. With the completion of our school plant, we will have far better conditions under which to work, and we hope that Park Junior High School will go forward with a program of development which will be a credit to this community, and of greater service to the many boys and girls who will enroll in it from year to year. —Richard L.
