Plans for memorial windows to be placed in the new high school build ing are being pushed rapidly by the school department and it is hoped that they can be completed satisfac- tortly and the windows placed in position by the time the rest of the building is completed about Febru- ary l. It is planned to have seven large stained glass windows in the Rin corridor facing the front en- trance, being placed in the wall be- tween that hallway and the gym nasium. They will be IS feet above the level of the gym and will be screened on that side to protect them. The windows will be movable to allow ventilation.
 The idea of placing these windows in the school was conceived by Su- perintendent of Schools L. s. Mills while inspecting various schools about the state preparatory to the building of the local high school. Some of the institutions he visited had used the memorial window scheme to advantage, and MT. Mills was struck by it's possibilities here. The building committee approved | the plan, which was then taken up duietly with various organizations here.
 The fire company is the only body l,,c fo tT, f,Iy l,G oEtn ing toward window. the sum Of s45 having been set asode for the purpose. The American Legion has taken up the project; the Home Guard has not yet done anything in the matter. The Chamber of Com mcrce is expected to have a window, the members being enthusiastic about the plan. Fraternal organiZa- tions have the matter under consid- erations; some of the windows will probably be more civic than memor- ial in character
 One or two windows may be ded- icated as memorials to the plainville heroes who were killed in the World war. This plan has been advanced by Edward T. Madeley of South Wash ing.on street. whose son, Corporal Earle w. Madeley, was killed in ac- ton at Chateau Thierry on July 21, 1918. There were nine men and one girl from Plainville killed in the war, and Mir Madeley's plan is for their families to unite in providing a memorial to their bravery and sac ritlce. Superintendent Mills today mailed letters to these families ask ing if they would unite in Mr. Made ley's plan.
 Architect William Towner. who designed the building. is working out details for the windows. as it is planned to have the various pan els all similar enough to harmonize with each other. MT. Towner is eX- pected to report soon, as is Frank T. Wheeler. who is looking into the cost. If all seven are purchased together a considerable saving will be effected in the cost. It is hoped that organizations planning to have panels will take early action in or der that the windows may be ready when the school opens. The archi- tects, Lawrence x Coe, have donat- ed the frames for the windows.
 The plastering on the school has now been almost finished, and it an- pears certain that the building will be ready on February l. Classes will be transferred to it soon after that date.
