These ten men guided the destinies of AHS ond formulated mony innovations to benefit the Ashtabula City school system. Outstanding among these were the erection of new all-steel stands at Bula field and passage of the $2,500,000 school bond issue. Money from the sale of the bonds will be used for additions to Bunker Hill, Chestnut avenue, Columbus junior high, and West junior high; to construct a new combined elementary building to replace Station avenue and Division schools; to erect a new Park junior high; and to renovate and repair the present senior high school. Some contracts have already been let; actual construction is now under way. Continuing their policy of repairing and replacing old buildings and equipment, the board had new boilers installed in the central plant and a long-awaited new chimney constructed. Also under the supervision of the board were the evening adult classes in woodworking, refrigeration, and art. In addition, the speciol classes at Park junior high were continued under the direction of Mrs. Mary Louise Hadlock and Mrs. Elizabeth Lucas. The city business and industrial advisory board for school vocational departments was continued with the participation of a number of Ashtabula businessmen. Other accomplishments included purchase of needed machinery for the vocational department, adjustment of teachers' salaries to the 1949 schedule, and adoption of new rules and regulations for use of buildings, grounds, equipment, and musical instruments. nine
