IMPORTANT .During the construction of our new school building our pupils must be housed in temporary quarters beginning Wednesday, September 5, 1934 In selecting these temporary quarters the School Board and its executives have sought earnestly to secure the greatest possible comfort and conveniences for our pupils and their parents, and to keep our No. 37 Organization intact untll we can all be assembled ln the new school. ln the main the teachers who have done such excellent work in our school will be in charge of our pupils in' the temporary quarters. to maintain the high standards of instruction which have characterized No. 37 in the past. The superintendent and Board of Education have made the following arrangements for housing our children for next year: I. Primary: So that our smaller children may be housed near home- rooms have been secured in the Zion Church building on Lemon Street, just below Virginia,-'two blocks from our present school and very near the center ol the school district. These rooms are being B'-UUPPBG for Killdbrgarwn First, Second, and some Third grade, children, and will be ready for use .september 6, 1934. II. Intermediate: Rooms are being tltted up in Public School building No. 48 and will be ready September 6 for our pupils of the Fourth, Elitn- nun ern... W...-,,.. and some oi the Third Grade, For any pupils who find the distance too great to go home for lunch. the cafeteria in this school will supply lunches at modest prices or lunches brought from, home may' be eaten there. III. Pre-Vocational a.n.d Two Year High School Commercial Courses- Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Gm-les. Q That there' may be no interruption of these courses, the entire third door of School No- 16 at 939 Delaware Avenue, bet,--.t.. . - streets. has been reserved together with additional rooms for the Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Music, Drawing. and Physical Training- Our tlne assortment of office machines and devices, and other school equipment will be installed. The same teachers who have made this unusual course so highly successful and so proiltable to our pupils U1 the past will conduct the classes in these temporary 41119-1't6l'Sf Ulltll pwe can return to our new No. 37 building.

Because or their business training in our own school, fifteen of them secured employment outside of school hours, and so are partly self-supporting. Nineteen ot last years' graduates went directly into full time employ- ment and a majority of them have won promotion in position or wages- Fourteen of these, pupils are attending the Evening High School to earn the Four Year High School Diploma. , ENTERTAINMENTS ' Because ot our crowded conditions we have had no large entertain,- ments. However, all the pupils have observed each of the ten red letter days Christmas, Wa.shlngton's Birthday- Arbor Day, etc. with suitable programs. To these exercises parents were invited in small groups, to avoid overcrowding. By special invitation, one of these numbers, 4'He Came to Bethlehem under the direction of Misses Weegar, Grossman, and Mr. Lablak, was repeated before the Music Appreciation Group of the Museum of Science' and was received with hearty approbation. WHAT PUCPILS HAVE DONE FOR THEIR SCHOOL When pupils are earnest- eager to make a name for themselves and for their school much has been done to make a good school. This has been the attitude of our pupils, and, carefully fostered by a. superior group of instructors, has brought about, in spite of most unsat- isfactory building conditions. the excellent reputation which our school has enjoyed for many years. REPAIRS AND EQUIPMENT None but very minor repairs or improvements ln the building or its equipment have been made this year in view of the construction of a new building to begin next month. See important announcement on page five.
