Class Rooms

Vl0SS NUUIIIS
South school auditorium has
been converted into class
rooms with removable par.
titions to accommodate ad-
ditional students from Nc
Dowell.
Important changes to meet wal
time conditions have been made
in plans for Coolidge north and
south elementary schools, that will
be called upon to accommodate ap-
prOXimately 100 additional students
from Mcdowell district when school
opens September 4. In order to
take care of this added enrolment
and to offer upper grade elemen-
tary facilities afforded by the high
school, it was decided by the school
board and r. w. Taylor, superin-
tendent of Coolidge schools, to
change lower grade students from
north to south school. This will
afford upper grade elementary stu
dents easy access and use of the
high school shop and other facil-
tiles.
In order to take care of the large
number of lower grade pupils an
ticipated for the 1945-46 year, the
auditorium at south school has
been converted into four class
rooms, with easily removable par
titions when circumstances no
longer require their use. This
work was completed last week.

east wing of the north school and
it is expected that work will be
completed by August Is. The new
addition is being constructed of
cement block and is SO by 80 feet.

ditioned.
