0ne A one To Miss Kathryn B. Martin We, the Class of 1953, graciously dedicate this forty-sixth volume of the Dragon. Winning the admiration and esteem of all who know her by her cheerful personality and many kindnesses, Miss Martin, besides being an efficient instructor in English and speech, gives generously of her time and effort in sponsoring the Dramatic Club and in producing the Senior and the Junior Plays. We are, also, grateful for her assistance in planning assemblies for the student body and in pre- paring for the Class Day and the Commencement programs. We deeply respect Miss Martin for her contributions and her progressive interest in the welfare of our school. nf f. 7

One of the most difllcult problems facing the School Directors of the Borough of Warren is providing a new high school building. Progress towards the solving of this problem has been made in the year since the 1952 DRAGON was published. The Municipal Authority is building the Jefferson Street Elementary School. A Jointure has been formed and will operate Beaty Junior High and Warren High School next year. Both ol' these actions are preliminary steps to the new building. A number of smaller problems are being solved before a new high school build- ing may be started. The attendance area for Beaty and high school has been deter- mined. The number of students to be accommodated in the building has been cal- culated as the districts have formed a new attendance area. The size of the addition to Beaty Junior High School has been determined and that of a new Warren High School can be determined. Since students go hrst to Beaty, then to high school, the addition to Beaty is needed first. Plans are being made to start the addition soon. The means ol raising money for the Beaty Building has been determined and thought has been given to the cost of the High School Building. Considerable planning is necessary. One important question is the site for the new building. Some would prefer that the present one be used. National and State standards for high school sites recommend one of about twenty-two acres. The only place a plot of this size is available is near the edge of town. Other questions such as ill What type of program is to be offered? and l2l What community services should be provided? need to be answered. After these problems are solved, the architect must be chosen, the plans must be drawn and specifications written, and bids must be taken and contracts let, before the building can actually be started. Your School Board members are aware of these difficulties and needs. They have been at work on the problem and will continue to work on it until the desired new high school building is a reality. 1 ' a,. .
