111,3'eQ' Q NORTH COVENTRY TQWNSHIP ELEMENTARY SCHOCL North Coventry Township now has a fine, new completely modern building. Low spacious ceil- ings add a more home-like appearance to classrooms. Each room is a complete unit in itself, con- taining boys' and girls' lavatories, and a sink with hot and cold water. Flexibility is added to the teaching program through the movable furniture, and wardrobes, which may also serve as bulletin boards. Three rows of fluorescent lights, in addition to large bay windows, insure good visibility. Bright green crayon boards add to the effect of light and are dustless. Each room is air-conditioned and can be controlled by the teacher. An outside exit for every room is a feature of convenience and safty. Other outstanding features of the building are a fine cafeteria, in which both grade and high school pupils eat lunch, a beautiful teachers' lounge and a spacious gymnasium, which gives plenty of space for the pupils to exercise. After school hours the high school boys use the gym for their athletic program. There are several things needed to complete the equipment of the new school, such as curtains for the stage and new gym stands. A madacamized playground behind the school is now in the pro- cess of completion. The North Coventry School Board started working on a solution to our overcrowded, out-of-date grade schools in the summer of 1949. A local building authority was set up by the township super- visors to arrange for financing the project. The men who so generously gave their time were: C. Donnell Marshall, C. Allyn Brown, Sr., Clarence A. Yocum, A. Erwin Colver, and J. Daniel Jones. This beautiful building was constructed in less than ten months. The first classes were held on January 3, 1952 - a day which is a milestone in North Coventry's educational history.
