New additions take shape The voters of the Prairie school district approved the referendum October 16 to borrow $300,000 for the additions to the grade and high schools. The planned high school addition will include two home economic rooms, agriculture classroom and shop, band room, and a classroom. The present home economic rooms will be turned into academic classrooms. The band will no longer have to practice on the stage or in the pavilion. Five badly needed classrooms will also be added to the grade school. This will eliminate the need for the use of the basement of the Evangelical United Brethern Church for classes. An all purpose room will serve the grade school and decrease the number of activities held in the large gymnasium. Hot lunches will be served in the new room. o have them completed by next September.
