Out with the Old . .. December 9, 1978 the old rock building, a division of the elementary which had been standing for 43 years, was com- pletely demolished by a fierce, raging fire, resulting in the early construction of a 14 room build- ing. Originally designed to have eight classrooms before the fire, the building was later redesigned to be constructed with 12 class- rooms, a teacher's workroom, an administration workroom, and an office. After the board decided to build, it took three to four months before the actual construction be- gan. Thus, the total number of constructed academic buildings was five. The building was estimated at $420,000. It was scheduled to be completed December 20, 1979. The students moved in shortly after Christmas vacation and classes resumed as usual. The building housed 4th, 5th, and 6th graders only. Grades K-3 re- mained in the same rooms. School consultant, L.W. Good, views th construction of the new building.
