Hood River may we'll be proud. The

is divided into four class rooms. Each
room has an individual, ventilated cloak
room. The basement is divided into
two playrooms, furnace room. two
fuel rooms, lavatories and closet for
janitor. The play rooms, if necessary,
can be turned into class rooms. Each
room is lighted by seven large win
dows. The doors are all equipped with
anti.panic catches, and fan driven
ventilators keep the air fresh and pure.
Each room has real slate blackboards.
The lower floor of the new high
school annex is devoted to industrial
work. On the west side of the building
will be located the manual training de-
partment, with shop. drawing room.

closed with glass so that one Instructor

partment, equipped with sewing
