Although the work was pushed as much as possible, only the foundations were laid last fall. They have had an excellent chance to settle all winter and are in the best of condition for the comple- tion of the building. (In letting the foundations stand, the contract- ors safeguarded against any settlings or flaws in the structure.) The work will be going on all summer and the addition will be ready for use when school starts in September. The new building is going to be a tine edifice, strictly modern in every sense. It will be two stories high and will have a ground floor just like the present building. The architectural design and the material will also be identical with that of the high school now. Joining on the north end. it will extend five to six feet to the west of the present wall, and to the walk north of it. It will he approxi- mately 75 feet wide and 170 feet long and will join on the end of the Manual Training Building. Bart of the manual training base- ment will be used as the boiler room for the new' heating plant that will be installed. The entire new ground floor and the rest of the manual training basement will house the new manual training department. Various improvements will be made in the working apparatus and the courses, one of which will be the improving and stressing of the auto- mechanics' course. The domestic science department will occupy the entire upper floor of the old manual training building. An exceptionally good course will be offered next year. Everything from sweeping and laundry work to dyeing, designing, and millinery will be taught. These large and modern departments will no doubt be appreciated by the manual training and domestic science pupils. Eight new class rooms will be included in the addition. These will accomodate about two hundred and fifty students. When these rooms are opened the rooms in the Lincoln building will be vacated. Several new teachers will also be needed to take care of the ever- increasing number of pupils. Music and art will be taken up more fully next year. On the first floor of the new school will be the much dreamed of gymnasium. It will be 90 feet long and 60 feet wide—almost twice as large as the “Y” gym. All the apparatus necessary to make a modern gym will be provided. One of the main features will be the running track. This will be situated on the balcony which will ex- tend all around the gym. Dressing rooms, lockers, and showers will also be included. Regular gym classes for all students will be es- tablished, something that has never been done before in this school. There will be only two new entrances to the building. The one on Thirtieth street will be the entrance to the school rooms and the one on the tracks will lead into the gymnasium. Page Seven
