History of Muncy-Muncy Creek Grade and High School Lawrie and Green, of Harrisburg, were the architects chosen to erect our new school building. It was to have 30 classroom units, a slate roof gabled, a separate gym- nasium and auditorium to be of stone construction. The central division of the building was to house facilities for community activities such as the auditorium, the stage, the gymnasium and the central office. The east wing of the building was to house the elementary grades one to six-the primary school occupy- ing the first floor and che intermediate school the second floor. The west wing was planned to accommodate the junior-senior high school, grades 7 to 12, the junior high school occupying the lower floor and the senior high school the upper. The plans also contained a spacious library with work room set apart, a home economics laboratory, an industrial arts laboratory, a physics and chemistry laboratory, a biology laboratory, a kitchen, a cafeteria room, a gymnasium with balcony, and auditorium with stage, storage rooms, and activities room, a supply room, a health room, a teachers room, and an 0Hice with a vault, a double commercial room, a locker room for girls and one for boys, besides an adequate number of regular classrooms. The building contains S6 rooms, practically every enclosure that is entered by means of a door. The cornerstone was laid without ceremony on November 24, 1931. The building, which was begun in October, 1931, was completed ready for delivery to the hands of the Muncy School Association and the Muncy-Muncy Creek Joint School District on July 5, 1932. Lawrie and Green have once more submitted tentative plans for future additions to our building. These plans represent three separate additions. One on the west ent' of the building would include a vocational shop, a new shop for the agricultural boys program, a cafeteria, and four additional rooms on the second floor. The proposed addi- tion to the central part of the building would carry out the enlargement of the present gymnasium, and provide seating space for 1,000 spectators. The gymnasium would also have moving partitions that would allow girls' physical education classes, and boys' classes to be in session at the same time. The auditorium would be extended to the rear to provide for a community room primarily intended for Boy and Girl Scout meetings, and other groups of the community who have need of this type of meeting place. On the east end of the building the addition would provide for six additional elementary class rooms. These plans have been prepared by the architect not with a view of immediate construction but rather to be ready when the need arises for more space. 5
