 Chorus and Band; Our most isolated, yet one of the largest areas in the school serves as the focal point of our music program, and our facilities include achoral room for 80 voices, an instrumental music room for 120 pieces, four practice rooms and a modern office, and individual lesson rooms. =— The equipment within the rooms has been custom built and represents a very functional, yet economical answer to all of the complex storage problems associated with equipment. Both the band and the choral rooms have direct access to the stage and will serve as fine dressing rooms for dramatic events which will become more evident in our future programs. Language Laboratory: The language laboratory is really a marvel and we can't explain its usage in our tour, but you can be assured that this equipment is unlimited in its function. As we demonstrate it for you you will easily learn how complicated our modern schools have become. Imagine learning a language by means of a tape recording and individual lecture, and yet the instructor does not have to waste valuable time away from the central console.

The equipment includes the new island type lab stations,and all of the fixtures required for better learning have been provided in thl3 suite. With the lacquered finish, individual storage units, voltage laboratories built-in, and the acid resistant tops, this Sheldon Equipment is certainly outstanding. The exhaust hood and demonstration table complete the basic facilities and no school can boast of finer equipment than we have at our science department. Our staff will no longer be hampered by a lack of teaching tools. What about the kitchen? We have one of the most modern and compact examples of Mr. Jordan's ingenuity. Mr. Jordan, as director of the school hot lunch program has been very exhaustive in his efforts for our community and the kitchen, food storage and dish washing areas will serve as testimony to this fact. We can serve in excess of 1000 meals without taxing this facility to its ultimate capacity.
