HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TELLS WHY SEWARD |s
 IN NED NEW SCHOOL
. (By Sigrid Rosness)

A new school building for Seward would be one more bit of evidence of the progress recently made by this town.
 The grade school building has been repaired many times and is now too small to hold the high schoc! student body. The Hartman Bank building has been rented for period of three years but the expense of it's upkeep has been great to the citizens of Sew ard The present high school build ing is too small to satisfactorily ac- comodate the present enrolment and equipment. There is no suitable place for a school library, and the vault, takes up large amount of space in place most desirable for school use.
 Before the town can have an ac- credited high school it must have more equipment, another teacher, and more room. The best way to get this is by building new school.
 Quite number of Seward high school students have bone outside to finish their high school course, where as, if this school had been accredited, they could have finished here.
 A gymnasium connected with the school is also badly needed. The pre- sent gymnasium is in constant use and the younger children do not get the benefit of physical education. Why pay rent for gym and high school when that money could be put into new school?
 It is very inconvenient for the high school and the grade school to be separated and it would be a great ad- vantage for the entire school to be in the same building.
 So with these facts in mind and the knowledge that Seward must even- tually have new school building, why not give to us, the present stu dent body, the advantages which we are entitled to?

Alan took the advice at its face

himself in furnished cottage In
the Vermont mountains. From
there he wrote to Shirley and told
her he was under doctors orders
for the next three months.
She wrote back by return OF
