ASSISTANT SUDGRIHIZGUOGHII STANLEY A. BUSSARD B.A., Alma College M.A., University of Michigan September, 1952. Besides the gymnasium the project pro- vides three science classrooms, a photography laboratory and three elementary classrooms. The gymnasium is 110 feet square and has a play area ll0 by 58 feet. This will provide a regulation basketball court with plenty of room to spare for bleachers on the ends and sides, if necessary. The bleacher area on the east side is 96 feet long by 25 feet wide. This will be equipped with eleven-tier folding bleachers. The stage will also be equipped with sixty-four feet of eleven-tier folding bleach- ers. The total seating capacity will be between 1850 and 2000. A new modern type score board has been donated by the Class of 1946 and will be installed on the south wall. Four shower and locker rooms are included to pro- vide ample space for athletic teams. Dressing rooms for plays and operettas can be provided by portable screens or in nearby rooms. The spacious stage will be equipped with a velour curtain to be protected by a canvas curtain. The cyclo- UDGRIDTSGHOGHII ANTHONY J. BRENDEL B.S. Michigan Sfale College M.A., University of Michigan 1 rama will be of rep cloth. The stage lighting will be con- trolled by a portable control system which can be stored, when not in use, in a small room on the south end of the stage. The piano, the public address equipment, and the movie equipment will also be stored in this room, thus preventing tampering with this valuable equipment. This type of construction provides a very flexible gymnasium-auditorium. The stage is large enough to accommodate both our senior and junior bands at the same time. It will also take care of the voice groups of the high school and junior high school. The bleacher platform can be used for many other purposes when the bleachers are folded. Our science department will be furnished with the most modern chemistry and physics equipment and will make a greatly expanded science program possible. The additional elementary rooms will ease the crowded condi- tions in the upper elementary department. 9
