The July 4th Pukwana School fire required a remodeling job that was completed for the August opening of school. A new addition to that school was added after that. The new high school track was about com- pleted. A new set of bleachers are plans for the summer. The board pledged SI0,000 to the city to hook onto the water line at the school property on top of the hill. Plans for the 1974-75 school year include a Middle School which includes the 6th, 7th and 8th grades.
