Cafeteria: Probably one of the more colorful and ’’span environments can be found In the cafeteria and study hall which features folding doors to the corridor and spacious patio doors to the exterior. You will notice that the cafeteria also opens directly into the library by means of a folding door—a very convenient arrangement. Our cafeteria will become more than an area which will only be used during the school hours. Our P.T.A. and social organizations will find it very convenient and spacious for socisl gatherings and community functions. We can easily seat 100 people in comfort. History Classroom: The academic classrooms include four units of varied sizes to provide a complete program in Math, Social Studies and English. Each room has a sliding patio door 8 feet wide and 7 feet high located in the rear of the classroom to eliminate chalkboard glare,and these units also serve as emergency exits. Typing: The commercial suite consists of two rooms divided by an insulated glass vision panel which is used for control between the two areas. The custom-built cabinets and work counters implement the spacious surroundings and provide individual project storage. Typewriters, business machines, computers, shorthand and bookkeeping materials find their home in these quarters.

Horae Economics: 1 u In the home economics room you may recognize some of the fine equipment we salvaged from the old building along with many new features that make this room a complete preparation center. Our girls will spend pleasant and rewarding hours in this laboratory and we hope that it will serve them well.

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.
