This summer if the school board can
make the grade, the ground will be

building so dear to many. The school
board Tuesday evening in regular ses-
sion passed a motion that Architect
Chubb be authorized to advertise for
bids, June IL being set as the day for
opening them.
The word "new high school" could
not be uttered upon the air, however,
without causing the usual river of
language from the east side of the
room where the school board sat in
session. Commissioners Threinen and
Joerndt were voluble in their OPPOSE
tion to the site, and seemed not to be
appeased by information that the board
was on record for the site and that
retreat was in vain. The motion that
Mr., Chubb advertise for bids carried
by vote of thirteen to five, the five
in opposition being Whitbeck, Tacki,
Threinen, Joerndt and Schmitt.
When the vote had carried School
Commissioner Harry Whitbeck rose to
his feet and announced that while he
had opposed the building of this new
high school on the site chosen, since
the board was now. dedicated to it,
he would do everything in his power
to forward the work and make it a
success. His words were received with
applause. He declared, however, that
he was opposed to a vocational school
back of the high school and in this
seconded, the stand taken with Mr..
Threiney,
Move to Have Power Plant.
Commissioner Jay b. Glerum Isov-
ed that the architect be directed to
draw up plans for a power plant as
auxiliary to the new high school
building. The motion was passed, OPP
posed only by Commissioners Joerndt
and Schmitt.
