Joseph D. Thomas, supt., Of the
Georgetown Schools, was guest
speaker for the Georgetown Mills
borO Rotary Club, in Masonic Tenn
pie, here, last week. He discussed
the need for extension of present
school facilities to take care of the
constantly increasing enrOllments.
The local School Board aware of
the imminent need, has, according
to Mr.. Thomas, engaged StanhOpe
and Manning, Architects to study
the present site and develop tena-
tive plans for construction Of need
ed additions to the present build
ing.
The type Of additional building,
it was pointed out, will depend
upon the type Of school program to
lie carried out. It would, of neces-
sity, also consider the rapid in
crease of pupils each year. Present
quarters in the local school are
now filled to capacity and based
on the birth rate statistics of the
state. enrolment ten years hence
would be twice that of the present.
ENROLMENT in the first grades, this
year was III and by 1853 is expect
ed to reach $50 pupils, with cores
pOnding increase in upper grades.
The amount Of construction to be
done at any one time would be pre-
dicated upon availability of funds
and would also be based upon
needs of the school in the fOresee-
able future. Tentative plans would
call for additional class rooms, for
both the elementary and high
school, and an additional space for
music. They would also rail- for er-
ectiOn of a separate one story bull
ding for the shop and to increase
cafeteria facilities by the erection
Of a cafeteria on the present bus
loading site with connecting hall
ways to both elementary and high
school elassroOms.
