New equipment has been ordered to
meet the necessities of such a large

of 325 pupils in a building which
was planned for $50 students an
overcrowded condition exists for
which some relief must be sought
by the members of the board of di-
rectorS. The Senior class of next
year will number IS students, the
largest in the history of the school
