WHERE THE DECISION ARCDSE Xlrs, llulbert. an eflieient secretary to Nlr. llacr. takes care of the many school records. keeps neat orderly files and handles the countless phone calls. She gives a helping hand with a smile to the students. teachers. and business callers who stop at the office. Some additional finishing touches to the building program will need to be carried out such as fencing the athletic field, laying out the baseball diamond and soccer field, as well as the purchase of some needed building equipment as maps. globes and piano for the auditorium. A few of the highlights in the building program were as follows: Ground was broken on May 26, 1952. The cornerstone was put in place October Q1. 1953. Copies of the 1952 and 1953 Mae, containing pictures of the Board of Education. faculty. students and other per- sonnel of the school during the time of construction were included. A copy of the bulletin distributed at the time of centralization and a copy of the leaflet used at the time of the bond issue. together with the record of votes in each ease were inclosed. Included was a letter of acknowlcdgincnt, written by the principal. of the fine workmanship and cooperation shown by the architects, contractors and others in- volved in any way in the building program with the school personnel from the board of education to the pupils in the grades. Not a single day of school was lost during the time of construction. The gymnasium was used for the first time on No- vember 15, 1953. The auditorium was completed. ready for use on February 4, 1954. Open house was held February 224-. 195-1-. We now seriously hope the boys and girls, faculty. and people of the central school district will make the most of the school's facilities to do a better job in the field of education. A program of adult education classes and driver training for the coming school year are now in the process of being formed. H rw '1 :A1 TT it ,I
