New Addition When the 1953-54 school year opens in September, we will see the students of Thorp High School working in an entirely new atmosphere. For the past several years our high school has been overcrowded and, to a certain extent, inadequately furnished. This problem will be remedied by a new addition and a complete remodeling job, which is planned to be finished by the second week in September. A new domestic science room will be added on the ground, or first floor. A completely furnished cafeteria will be made out of what is now, the agriculture room and the laboratory. A kindergarten will be added on the ground Hoor. The Superinten- dent's office, consisting of' an outer office and a waiting room, will also occupy the first floor. On the second floor there will be teachers' restrooms and a girls' restroom. New rooms for the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades will be built. Girls' lockers for both the grade and high school students will be added. A modern science laboratory, adequately furnished will be on- the third fioor. Here there will also be new social science rooms and a boys' washroom and lockers. A new domestic science room will be added on the ground, or first, fioor. A a new ticket oiiice will be added. A fire tower, which will run from the first to the top fioor, will be erected in the south east corner of the building. There will be fire doors in every room. A new heating plant will be installed. The English room, library, and health room will be remodeled. From this brief glimpse of our new school it is obvious that it will alter the previously overcrowded and inadequate situation. We wish to express our appreciation to everyone concerned in providing these modern conveniences for our school system. Page Fifty-eight
