5 - Q1 The Senior High building was designed in 1963, but it was 1966 before it was used, and it was not scheduled to be completely finished before 1968. In October, 1963, the State Fire Marshall and the State Board of Education approved the plans and the architect was directed to finish the details. The low bid was over 31,4-00,000 which exceeded the available funds. After the contract was let by the school board, the County Court sued to prevent construction. ln March, 1964, the cost was lowered to about 31,158,000 by leaving out two clusters and the auditorium con- struction. When the Board's request for 3750,000 was refused, the Board voted to sue. - ' SPI, AY i The Board received the 55750,000 in September and construction 4i.k'i ' A' -fw':f5 resumed in December.
