THE HIGH SCHOOL .XNNUAL lil THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING Tlifit a building will be ereeted suitable for the needs of a high school is now an assured fact. It is expected that the building will be ready for use bythe beginning of the coming school year. Plans are being submitted and one will be selected before this reaches the reader. The building committee are working along safe and economical lines. It is propo-ed to erect a buildiifg at a cost not to exceed 39.000, leaving the balance to furnish the building, improve the grounds and add such other facilities as later requirements may seem to demand. The building committee are endeavoring to forestall any nced or call for an additional tax to complete or even furnish the building. It is intended that the only expeule in the future will be the current running expenses of the School. It is hoped that this policy will meet with the approval of all supporters of the school. It is thought that a one-Story building of four rooms with a basement for laboratory work, would meet all the requirements ofa small high school. The building will be erected on what is known as the Chapman lot, which was purchased some months ago. 'With the completion of the building it is hoped that the knockers will join the ranks of the boosters to advance educational interests in this part of the country. bf 'Come and Skate L mth We oqf The OAKLEY SKATING RINK JESSE 85 BRYNER, Props. ...1. ....-Q..
