On the opposite side of this hallway is the school library with a work room and a conference room. If you continue along this hallway toward Route 100, you will find yourself looking into the three-station gymnasium. The boys' dressing room and shower room are on the first floor. The girls' showers and dressing room are on the second floor. If you walk in a northern di1'ection from the gym lobby, you will approach the junior high school wing.

The science classrooms, the homemaking area, the fine arts rooms are found on the second floor of the senior high wing. It is the plan of the Curriculum Committee to provide a greatly enriched program of studies in this new home. During the past two years our committee has devoted many hours to planning this new program which will more nearly meet the educational needs of the students attending Owen J. Roberts High School.
