One of these has playground equip- ment such as swings, sliding hoards, seo-saws, and a miniature merry-go-round -for tho elementary school children. of course. The other is marked off into game fields similar to the one hetween the two school build- ings which is for the high school people. This is a great improvement over ilu- cinder yard and the old 'tsand pile, and at the same time adds to the appear- ance of the schools. Besides this, there have hecn improvements of the school huildings. They have heen painted hoth inside and out. A new lighting system has been installed in the elementary school.
