New Junior High School HERE IS A STRIKING CONTRAST between the first school building and first school opened in Grand Junction, as shown in the illustration on this page, and the modern buildings in which our children go to school now. That little school was none the less the hope of the nation and reflected the hope and ambitions of ri XL JLl ' our car y P oncer'' of the 80’s just as truly as the modern, substantial, well arranged buildings of today wTn J represent those same characteristics in our citizenship. Tp Grand Junction now has ten fine, up-to-date, substantial school buildings. Five of these are new, - four having been constructed within the past year at an expenditure of approximately $300,000. Iris a pleasure to take a drive around town and see these schools. They are charming buildings with great doors, exquisite windows, stately pillars, and pleasing form. Each building is located adjoining a school or municipal park so as to make its location very attractive. Inside, the schools are for children, teachers and school work of a definite nature. There must be comfortable scats, good light, fresh air, blackboards and a Tot of finishing touches that are arranged to suit the age of pupils or the kind of work done in a particular school room. There must be water fountains, toilet service and other conveniences to make the school a real home for the people who live there most of the working day. Outside, the schools arc for everyone. All who have eyes should be able to sec th- beauty of modern schools, the delightful, convenient location of the buildings, and the pleasing surroundings each school enjoys. Among the latest improve- ments to the school plant is the fine new gymnasium added to the high school. This will be used by the junior and senior high school pupils. It is modern in every way and will prove to be very popular and useful, lust now the program for its use is being worked out so that next year when school opens it will be utilized for the highest good eveiv period of the school dav. - R E. Tope. First School in Mesa County Founded in the early 80’s near the present site of the Avalon Theatre. Nannie B. Underhill was the teacher of this school. The building was also used as a church and community center
