Johnstown High School - Baronet Yearbook (Johnstown, NY)

Page 8 text:

Renovation and reorganization were the main themes this year in the Greater Johnstown School Dis- trict. State aid, granted to this school system, will provide for a media center or hub for all studies, a second cafeteria to make up for non-existent space in the old lunch- room, a swimming pool (our sin- cerest thanks to Mr. Julius Higier, who donated the required difference in memory of his wife) and exten- sive additions to various depart- ments. So at present, J.H. S. is under intense construction. How has this changed student life? Conservatively, pupils have become well adapted to the state of confusion making up this scho- lastic year. Reserved parking for students has been established on the north side of Burton Street. Gym classes follow marked detours to their respective fields. The rhy- thm of jackhammers and mallets punch out the mood for every person in the building. Academic scores are not expect- ed to drop, although-many object as two swinging five-tons beams seem to threaten the whole windows be- hind them, or as socks and assorted objects flip over the ceilingless locker room walls? This does not help concentration!
