Building The New Grade School

Page 25 text:

New Grade chool When in early 1956 it became clear that Winslow could not outvote the rest of the unit and keep its high school, its representatives on the school board succeeded in having included in the June 1956 plan a new grade school for Winslow. Built in 1957 east of the gymnasium, having its west wall directly against the gym's east wall, this modern building overlooks the terraced, three-level playground. Inside we find seven classrooms, each 25 by 30 feet, with the most modern facilities. Each room has windows along the entire side and opens into a spacious hallway. Individual student lockers are located in the halls upstairs and in the rooms downstairs. A kitchen on the lower story will facilitate the school lunch program. This new building was the last site of Winslow High School. A description of the move from the old building to the new during 1957-58 will be folmd on page 103 of this book. The old building was razed in the summe f ' r o 1958, leaving the basement story, which houses the office, two rest rooms, and a new oil-fired hot water heating plant Winslow High School's last administrator, Mr. Clikeman, is leaving us to teach in the Rockford school system. Mr. Clikeman will be well remembered by his many students for his friendly manner and for his great interest in music and natural science Next fall the hi h g school students of the Winslow area will attend school in a new buildi h ng on t e northeast corner of Lena. So ends the history of Winslow High School.
