new HIGH SCHOOL

| are HOW COllplete lot lHe new mgr
school building at Stanfield and ready
to submit to contractors who desire
to bid for the contract for its con.
struction. C. NJ. Himebaugh, the ar.
chitect, has designed a building thai
Is modern in every respect. The
building Is to have nine rooms, -four
on the first floor and five above, each
room to be well lighted. the question
of proper heating and ventilation al
so being considered by the architect
as of supreme importance. An as
sembly room on the second floor is
provided for by the throwing open
of the doors between two of the
rooms. Modern sanitary plumbing is
also feature that will be provided.
1t has been the intention to erect
brick building but there is now
some probability of the use of Pleas
ant Valley building stone such as was
used In the new bank building at Her.
miston. The opinion has been ex-
pressed that the stone can be used
and still come within the proposed
cost of the building in which case
the stone will be called for. The total
cost of the building will likely be in
the neighborhood Of 5000 and it is
expected that 1t viii be completed in
time for the opening or the fall term.
