Review School Year l958 l959 The year of S8-59 is another year of con- tinued progress for the Prague schools It has been a year of overall planning and of increas ed enrolment The Board of Education, together with the aid of an appointed Planning Commission, ha taken definite steps toward the present and future development of the Prague schools There was a new look at the possibilities con- cerning the school site west of town with the followmg results First, that the site alreachy owned by the Board of Education was the most suitable of any possible location for school development Second, that in order that this site be completely maintained for the dev elopment of the Junior-Senior high school plant, it was decided by the Board of Education that the other half of the mineral rights bi purchased, thereby eliminating the possibility of a leasor drilling for oil on the site Third, it was also thought advisable that the Board of Education purchase the triangular acreage bordering the pavement and running across more than half of the south end of the school site, which was done earlier in the year Fourth, the Board of Education, with the recommendation of the Planning Commission, decided that some steps must be taken to make it possible for sewage disposal for the site. It was first thought this could only be done by using a pump or lift and running a small sewer line from the swimming pool to the school site. This would have been not only expensive but also made possible some mechanical Problems in the future. It also would limit any residential development in the area. Finally an engmeer was employed to check the best possibilities for the sewer line. His report was that the best and most feasible plan would be to extend the sewer main to the general area. After much discussion by the Board of Education, the Plan- ning Commission, and other citizens, the Town Council agreed to call a bond issue in order to solve the problem. The Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Education take additional steps toward further development of the site. An architect has been employed to draw floor plans and a prospectus of class rooms for the Junior- Senior High School which will be further con- sidered by the Planning Commission. The possl bility of a bond issue will be decided by a recommendation of the Commission. The year book will go to press before this decision can be made. +Qg,i viewer ki This year saw the sale of the last rural school buildings within the Pmgue transpozv tation area Early in the year the Deer Creek school whmch was owned Jointly by lhvenport, Stroud, and Prague, was sold: recently, the Arlington school property was sold to the Odd Fellows Lodge, with the agreement that it would also be used as a community center. This has been a year of record enrollment which at the end of the first semester was 535. This increased enrollment was due to two factors: First, there was a general increase in enrollment in the school district and second the Holy Guild school with close to no pupils closed and were received by the Prague schools. The increased enrollment is a rather heany-ky situation for the school and the town, for loss of school population is not a good omen for any community. This year has also been marked by a more serious minded and well disciplined attitude on the part of the student body which also speaks well for the future growth and progress of Prague High School. The Board of Education and faculty are indeed very grateful for the fine co-operation of the coulnunlty and the solution of the many problems that have arisen during the yell'- Su P6rintendent's D'
