Mr. Jess L. Purdy Mr, Purdy has been principal of john Rogers High School for ten years. He fully understands the problems of Roger's High School students with the recent in- crease in enrollment and the crowded conditions that exist here at the schools. He has been working very closely with the faculty, architects, and contractors so that the new additions will be suited to the needs of the students and faculty. The new additions include a field house, the first in any Spokane Public school. A cafe- teria, with a seating capacity of over six hundred, and a new fine arts wing, which includes the Art Department, Home Economics, and a nursery for pre-school children. The vacancies of some present facilities make it necessary to remodel parts ofthe old building into a new study hall, a teacher's lounge, and new commercial room. On the second floor there will be a new journalism department, and a dark room. Also there will be an extension to the library, plus several new classrooms. The third floor is to receive a new Biology laboratory. Mr. William C. Sorenson Mr. W. C.
