A Nun High Svrhnnl Euilhing fur illamhurg The Board of Education is working on preliminary plans for a new junior-senior high school building for Hamburg. It is planned to employ an architect at once, who will draft the preliminary plans, incorporating the ideas of the Board as closely as possible and estimating the cost. Early next fall, the Board expects to go to the people of the district with a definite pro- posal for a new school building. The state school building authorities have surveyed the situation, and advise that immediate action is necessary, because of the crowded condition of the school, they further advocate the erection of a centrally located building to house the upper six grades of the junior and senior high school. The present building can be remodeled easily for grade uses, but does not lend itself to further development for high school purposes. The new building will probably contain the following features: An auditorium to seat twelve hundred people, with a large stage and suitable dressing rooms. A gymnasium of standard size, eighty by fifty feet, with adjoining locker and shower rooms for boys and girls. Ample and modern laboratories for biology, physics, chemistry, agricul- ture and physical geography, with the necessary raised seat lecture rooms, dark rooms and store rooms. Suitable quarters for homemaking, with model apartment, and cafetaria for serving country children who do not go home to dinner, and for com- munity use. A commercial department, with provision for bookkeeping, typewriting and stenography classes. Shop and drafting room for manual training and mechanical drawing. A well equipped, and centrally located library to serve as a study labor- atory for both junior and senior departments. ln addition to the above, about ten classrooms will be provided for English, history, mathematics and languages. The home room plan of seating the pupils, without providing large study halls, is favored, all assemblies to be held in the auditorium. It is estimated very roughly that such a building will cost about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, fully equipped. The Board of Education has deferred consideration of this building project until the need cannot help but be apparent to all, and it feels confident that the people of this fair village will rise to the situation in a creditable manner. 8
