Director of High Schools.
Mr.. Friswold, State Architect Of
st. Paul, who met with the school
board Tuesday evening, stated that
the board could not present an al
tentative proposition to the voters.
1t must be direct as presented and
then If the people are interested in
something else another election
must be called. In other words the
purpose Of the election must be
definite.
Mr.. Friswold stated that when
the present Senior High School was
erected no plans for expansion
were made, and that it was not
built for adding additions or an
nexes, without sacrificing consid-
cradle class room. He told the
board that to fire proof or remodel
the present building was impracti-
cable and uneconomical, and that
such a program at its best would
be a makeshift and would not ans
wer the problem confronted by the
local school. He could not see why
the people of this district could
object to dismantling the present
Senior High School building, which
complete cost only $4,000, and
which in the twenty-four years of
existence has practically paid for
itself and has become inadequate
for present day needs. Mr.. FRS
void also told the board that pres
ent playground facilities are made
quate.
The school board has plans for
the new building, but owing to
necessary changes 1t Is impossible
to give a definite view of the pro-
posed building. However, the new
building will cost approximately
$250,000 and another $4,000 will be
necessary for equipment. $165,OOC
will be the bonded indebtedness
the $135000 will be a direct grant
from the government without
strings attached. The plan, how.
ever, when changes are made, will
have to be presented to the state
architect for approval.
Salvage from the present Senior
High School building will be used
for the erection of a garage fol
the school buses.
From the plans it was CLEANED
that the first floor will contain {
gymnasium, of the standard ap
proved type, and adequate enough

have folding doors to divide the
gymnasium, so that boys an6
girls physical education can bt
carried on simultaneously. Under
the gymnasium proper will be ade
quate showers for girls and boys
large band room and small
music practice room, all built sound
I proof. The auditorium proper an6
the balcony will have permanent
seats. A motion picture projection
room will be on the balcony.

les of three rooms to care fol
