HIGH SCHOOL DEFICIENCIES REMAINED UNSOLVED As the school year drew to a close, it seemed unlikely that the plans to correct serious deficiencies in Wellesley High School’s Industrial Arts or Library program would be forthcoming. In a December referendum, the Town had rejected a proposal for a building addition to improve vocational training offerings and expand the Library. Clearly, the economic climate and popular sentiment in town seemed not to favor large expenditures for education. Citizens objected that taxes were high enough already; some were particularly opposed to funding of non-academic pro¬ grams like woodworking or metal shop. Although citizens rejected the $1.8 million plan for renovations, the School Com¬ mittee was forced to allocate funds to bring the high school building up to state safety standards.

Students are, in Paul Nlantovani worked on his project. effect, discouraged from taking advantage of two important areas in their school. Principal Ted Rockiki, unable to win a five year fight to improve the high school, left his position to become Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Wellesley. It remains to be seen whether the question of the quality of educa¬ tional offerings will be taken up in his absence. New attempts to fund a building project or other improvement plan will undoubtedly meet with resistance; if nothing is done, Wellesley High may lose it accredita¬ tion with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, resulting in the loss of reputation that will match its lack of educa¬ tional facilities. 13
