"A large model OF the proposed new
East Side high school can now be
seen at Bruce Morgan's Hardware
Store on the East Side. The model
has only been displayed at one other
location, in the basement Of the First
Presbyterian church on Thanksgiv-
ing night during the opening meeting
of the Education Association, 1t hay
ing arrived In the city from Whining
ton, Delaware, last week. Nuzum and
Jones, the architects who made the
model, came to this city about eight
weeks ago and looted over the lOca-
tion which has been selected for the
building, after which they made this
model. The model ls about four feet
square and Is q very beautiful repre-
sensations of the sort OF high school
and grounds which the East Side
Board OF Education Is enthusiastic
ally planning. The new high school
will be started within very short
time, just as soon as condemnation
proceedings which have been appeal
Cd to the Supreme enc. Court have been b1
The model Is divided very artis-
tically into two sections and is la
beled East Side High School and
Community Center" One section
faces on Maryland avenue and con-
tains in color pretty park and play
grounds containing small covered
summer house in the center, two
small ponds, with trees and shrub
berry surrounding the park. On the
model the tiny trees and bit OF a.
summer house and neat grassy sec
dons with walkways In between, re-
semble doll furnishings but give an
excellent idea OF the sort Of thing
East Side folks are planning.
Were going to have it just as near
that model as we possibly can," says
Principal Hustead. I'VE think that
model comes Just about saying what
we want to say when it comes to
talking about our new building and
grounds"
Alta Vista avenue divides the twoI
sections which face Maryland ave
nue. and on the other side of Alta
Vista are two more sections contain
ing an athletic field with bleachers,
and back of this field, ground is laid
out in Is garden plots. Trees and
shrubbery will be planted around the
entire grounds, also marking off theI
various sections.
The high school building itself oc-
cupIes the plot of ground to the side
OF the athletic field and even in the
small model Is beautiful building
of red brick, put together irregular
ly in shape with wings on either side.
A tall tower with clock on the top
is also featured in the model. Steps
leading to the building open into a
court which runs around the entrance
in the shape of veranda.
The building is to contain large
large gymnasium, a man
ual, cooking and sewing room,
every room to be especially designed
for each purpose. There are to be
sixteen large class rooms and the
building is to be three stories high |
and to be of brick and stone.
Plans for the High School have not
been made yet and II has not been
decided who will make the plans but
they are to be made after the model
which is attracting much attention IN
