I ' EXPANSION OF THE GREENFIELD COMMUNITY SCHOOLS On September 18 of last year our town made one of its greatest steps in providing for modern education when it approved a 3595, 000 bond issue which, combined with other cash available, made it possible to reduce the present strained school housing situation. ' Before such steps were taken classes had to be held in the Presbyterian Church basement and a remodeled bus garage. This is not to mention seventeen rural attendance centers for which we were responsible under our reorganization program . Every class- room on the present school site was in use and many had double the amount of rec- ommended students per classroom. The bond issue has made it, possible for the Board of Education to purchase a new school site in the northwest edge of town which will afford adequate space for the new elementary school, for agriculture test plots , for playground areas , -for athletic fields, and leave room for future expansion. At present, plans are underway for the actual construction of the new elementary building. This building will provide twenty classrooms for kindergarten through sixth grade, a multipurpose room, an activity room, a hot lunch kitchen, a special educa- tion office, a principal's and music office, books and supplies storage rooms, -and rest rooms, as well as the heating plant. The plans call for 38,437 square feet of building space at a cost of S11 .90 per square foot. An estimated total cost of S457,552. 00 would be absorbed by R. A. Grabou Construction of Boone, Iowa, who received the contract for general contract work at S314,903. 00: the P and H Siglin Plumbing and Heating of Perry, Iowa whose contract amounts to 5106, 752 . 00: and the local Holaday Electric Company whose con-f' tract totals S35 , 897 . 00. 1 Besides the new building future plans call for the remodeling and expansion of the present school to provide for separate hot lunch facilities, a four-year vocational agriculture shop and larger classrooms, better music and band facilities, enlarged commercial classrooms, more adequate sciencerooms, larger industrial arts shop, and improvements of other classrooms generally. And who do we have to thank for these modern developments? Our general public who through their co-operation on the bond issue' by an overwhelming 931-237 vote made it possible for the Board of Education and school officials to carry out the present plans. Going back even farther a citizens' study group gave up much of their own time to consult with experts' in school matters and building costs. To all of these people then thanks are due for this great step to make our school one of which we can indeed be proud.
