Rowland and Sons of Rushville were awarded the contract for installating the plumbing and heating system.

r wown ( ountij School was opened this year in a completely new atmosphere—a new, modern school building with a new name for the school. This school is one of the modem schools in this section of the state. It has sixteen classrooms, a combination studyhall and library, a large gymnasium, a spacious home economics room, special shower rooms, and a boiler room. The halls are lined with lockers sufficient in number to accommodate each individual student. The gymnasium is in the center of the building with the classrooms built around it. Ample storage space for athletic equipment, etc., is under the bleachers of the gymnasium. The entrances are constructed mostly of glass. There are five entrances to the school. The football field with lights is on the east side of the building and the baseball field is on the south side or the back of the school. Slow construction delayed the opening of school for two weeks. Registration took place on September 17, 1951, and classes were held the following day.
