of Tomorrow excuses. ' Rooms will be built on the second floor which is now the upper part of the present audi- torium. Plans include a science lecture room east of the labore- tory, which will remain as it is except for four additional lab- oratory tables. The remaining space on the south side of the building will contain the commercial depart- ment divided into three rooms: typing, bookkeeping and short- h a n d. and business machines. T h s n e w crowded com srcial classes will then have plenty of room. A large recreation room for the high school will occupy m o s t of the remaining space. There will be space however, for a teachers' rest room and s special activities room with a small stage for class produc- tions, projection equipment for movies, radio. phonograph. and supplies for a limited amount of art work. The boys' and girls' ' rest rooms will be interchanged be- cause t h e general opinion is that the girls need more room to prinp than they have new and the boys' room is considerably the The Lariat. 1946 larger of the two. A clock is needed Lin Ovary classroom, so one will be sup- plied in the new school plan. In that way, all question about what time it is and what bells have rung will be eliminated. Another thing that is elmo.. a necessity here, especially in the high school classrooms, is glass-covered bulletin boa r d s. where materials can be placed without being disturbed. T h e y to be locked, sometimes ab- sometlmes in- and s p o 1 1 should be built because students ssntmindedly and tentlonally mark posted papers that should not be spoiled. Still another essential for s l 1 classrooms is adjustable seats and desks to accommodate s 1 z e s. They children of all do not all grow at the same rate and often in one class there are sizes. In such pupils of many cases adjustable desks are very desirable. so these things are included in our new plan. Grade teachers h s v e all complained about lack of storage space so a large cupboard will be built into the back of each room, where supplies 'of all kinds can be stored. It will be apprgxi- mately msntel height. so that the materials in the cupboard will be easily available. The top can be used to display ornaments or cb- jects to illustrate class work. We h a v e worked out all these changes with teachers and other pupils, and we hope that someday they will be more than plans--an actuality. a KX XA x, , .-'Z . ,,.-.-. YNN f YL!! 11
