Schools 0 THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL ACCORDING to present plans LaPorte’s new High School will be ready for occupancy next September. The gym and auditorium are already in use. The total cost of the building and equipment will exceed $500,000. It will accommodate eight hundred students and contain twelve hundred lock- ers. The gymnasium seats seventeen hundred and the auditorium twelve hundred persons. The basement consists of boiler rooms, coal bunkers, showers, dressing rooms and two rooms specially constructed with concrete lead ways, in which students may store their bicycles. Upon the ground floor there are a kitchen and cafeteria which will serve three hundred, an auto machanic shop, paint shop, machine shop, wood-working shop and a tool room. Here are also the commercial depart- ment consisting of four rooms, the Home Economics department with nine rooms, the Art department of two rooms, and the physical education de- partment with six rooms. Likewise there is a small gymnasium for girls. The first floor is made up of seven recitation rooms, one study hall, a library with offices, each with three rooms. The auditorium is entered upon this floor. The second floor consists of ten recitation rooms, two study halls, four science laboratories, one teachers’ rest room and two student rest rooms. The balcony of the auditorium is entered from this floor. The building is fireproof in every respect and all the latest plans in school building construction have been incorporated in it. It is, indeed, something for LaPorte to be proud of and has been years. Twelve
