was very gratifying to them and a
large number OF men with fair
spIinkling of women greeted the
President OF tES Board Mr.. Ap-
p,l rs he arose to state the object
OF the meeting. The Board des-
ired the advice OF the people of
Holly as to the best way to solve
the problem of the over-crOWded
condition of our school buildings.
At least four new rooms or their
equivalent will be needed at the
opening OF the school next year
and there must either be build
ing campaign on this summer to
meet the need. or rooms will have
to be rented next year to house
the pupils.
After W. S. Partridge was called
to the chair to preside L.. NJ Appel
stated the four plans the Board
proposes:
"a A four room addition op the
east side of the III. S. building
Plaoinp the Junior and Senior high
schools in one building. This would
work for economy and would cost
$50 900 About 200 children eat
thair lunches at school and the
present gymnasium would be used
FOR a lunch room A new gymnasi-.
tlm would be built on the grade
school grounds across the street
Then $1,000 would have to be ex-
nended to fix up the old grade
building which is in bad repair il
(2l An eight room building to
he built on the grade school grounds
at n cost of $4,000.
f3o A II rcam building with a
pvInnasiilw to be built at cost
of 100000
80 IT was proposed to tear down
the old grade building and build
q new Junior and Senior High
School on the site and use the pres
ent Hieh School building for a
grade school, This would require
an expenditure o. about $4,000.
The architects advised this ass the
most economical and satisfactory.
The Board also recommended this
but had no FAX to grind and want
ed to do only what pleased the
peS pie of Holly. TO build a new
bul,aing would be an added burden
to them and ii the congestion
could be met in any way more sat
isfactory the Board would be glad
to follow that plan.

1Aans proposed; most present not
