ference of Southeast Citizens Asso-
Citations was voted last night at the
first Fall meeting of the Randle High
lands Citizens Association at the Ben
jamin Orr School.
A. H. Bacas, a delegate to recent

tions in Southeast to flight for civic

Some time ago the association re-
quested the inclusion of an item in

of a gymnasium for the Randle High
lands Junior High School. An an
swer to this request was read by M

School Board has submitted estimates
for construction of three assembly
gymnasiums, two for white schools
and one for colored schools. at those
16-room elementary units that have
been completed without an assembly
gymnasium" The letter went on to
say that such projects are not being
asked for by the School Board for
eight 16-room units where the as
sembly gymnasium should be con-
structed.
Fund Needs Are Shown.
"A more favorable financial condi-
ton" is necessary before the project
could be considered. Mr.. Ballou
wrote. but promised consideration OF
the request should it be found pos
Sible to add to the budget estimates
for buildings and grounds.
Mr.. Bacas told members the project
could be obtained easily by consider
ing the Randle Highlands School and
/ the Orr School as one.
R. H. Randall, chairman OF the
! Nominating Committee. reported the
/ following nominations for Office, to be
