the town of Berlin for permission to
erect, on q suitable site an eight
room building, with auditorium. to
serve as modern junior high
school. An eight room school cares
generously for the present but
makes no great provision for future
growth. The type of building Sc
lected. then. should be one to which
four room addition may be made
at moderate cost.
The evacuation OF the four upper
class rooms in the Kensington gram
mar school would abolish the base
| ment and portable building rooms
| and restore them to the proper
| ownership Of the elementary grades
as the junior high school has been
an intruder since 1920 when the
| townspeople were assured In oren
| town meeting, II the new organiza-
ton should prove to be a success In
its initial year. a new building would
be required. The needs of our chill
| dren call for early action.

Adele Murray.
As a member OF the town school

sibility and one that challenged her

A search of the minutes of the
school committee during the period
of her active membership, reveals
the fact that many of the finest and
most worthwhile introductions of
recent years were the results of her
careful study of our school system.
! Her devotion to the interests of
children and her appreciation OF
the teachers task brought about
much that enriched the lives of
| both.
Her constructive criticism, intense
| loyalty and answering friendship
wer a source of inspiration to your
superintendent.
Miss Murray will long be missed
| in the et1ucatic nal work of the town.
