Loew worked successfully, together with members of the I'rbana Board of Ed- ucat ion, to improve our schools. During the present school year, the schools have been using the new additions at Hays, Washington, and Webber Schools. These added classrooms, kindergarten rooms and auditorium-gymnasiums to existing buildings. The new Flossie Wiley Elementary School is nearing completion, and will be ready for occu- pancy for next school year. This building contains eight classrooms, kindergarten room, and audito- rium-gymnasium. In October. 1951, the voters of the district ap- proved the issuance of $575,000 in building bonds additional to the $840,000 voted earlier for the new junior high school. This made construction pos- sible. Work was started in December, 1951, on the southeast corner of the high school site. This $1,415,000 building will contain facilities to be shared by I'rbana High School, the principal ones being the gymnasium and bandrooms. Completion is expected by September, 1953. During the school year, the Board continued its practice of holding a special meeting each month in order to hear reports on tin curriculum and educa- tional program. With the meetings of last year, all phases of our instructional and extra-curricular program were studied. Mr. C. (]. Locw Mr. Loew’s capable secretary, Mrs. Jo Ann Gricsc 6 The 1052 Rosemary
