HIGH SCHOOL NOT IN SIGHT
Director Barker Says Commit
tee Has Not Yet Seen
Suitable Site.

Director of Education Charles Q. Bar
ker, a member of the High School Site
Committee, says the committee is as TAR
away from the selection of a site for the
proposed school as ever. A number OF
plots have been looked over, he says but
not one has been favored by the com
mittee.
Those we have visited" said he, ARE
either too far out of the way or too
small. The work of condemning property
is no pleasant task, and besides it would
take much time, perhaps two years. TINS
delay the committee wishes to avoid.
1.-THE members are anxious to select a
suitable site for the High School and we
all realize the task we have on our
hands. We wish to please all hands, ana
in trying to do so there has been much
discussion and thinking. But no solution
has been reached as yet.
LAS I stated before, we nave no spe-
cial site in view. NO DEFINITE piahs nave
