AF 1:5 'A Sealed D Shays C Walker D Swanger j McConnell H Arndt Standing P Gray clerk R Eaken W Harris superintendent C Truman R Drake The need for more classrooms in the Vfellington School building becme apparent to this board of education as early as 1950 They receiyed requests from the state department of education and from surrounding school districts to consider consolidation with those districts Increasing enrollment in the Wellington primary grades foretold the necessity of having more classroom space Plans for the type and amount of new construc tion were withheld until the consolidation with the Brighton School District and a part of the Rochester School District were completed in the summer of 1957 During the late summer of that year an architects firm Fulton Krinsky and Dela Motte of Cleveland was selected to submit and revise build ing plans in accordance with the boards conception of the school needs These needs had been studied by a school survey group from Kent State Lniyersity during the spring and summer of 1957 Advised by the state department of educition to build for the future needs of the school district as it existed after the completion of consolidation the board and the survey group decided that an addition to the present high school was the most economically feasible plan. The construction of a completely new' high school was not possible within the legal debt limits on the districts property valuation. Three-fourths of the districts voters approved. t the November, 1952 election, a 5500.000 bond issue to construct and equip an addition to the present building These bonds were sold to a syndicate of bond brokers December 10 1952 and the contracts for construction were let March 10 195v Practically all phases of the construction and equipping were completed during the summer of 1954 so that the new high school addition was first occupied in September 1954 Two elementary rooms had been brought near enough to completion to be occupied in September 1953 The entire project included the construction and equipping of two elementary rooms and five general high school classrooms two science rooms with two storage rooms three commercial rooms one me chanical drawing room one yocational agriculture classroom a yocational agriculture shop and a music suite with rehearsal room practice rooms office and storage room This attractiye durable building attests to the fore sight yudgment and skill of the architects thc general contractors lcnnings ind Churella of New London. and other contractors chosen by the Well- ington Board of Education to carry out the project. The board feels that the long hours of study' and planning spent during many' regular and special meetings are amply' repaid by making available to Wellington Districts children an efficient. pleasant environment for their learning activities. 4VQ,ZZZea2C
