keyed to use the public schools in
its proposed program.
For many years gymnasium and

kept pace with trends in modern

to remedy this situation with a
forward-looking building and i'm

better buildings to meet today's
needs for both school and COM
munity. The voters will decide the
issue on May End.
The greatest need exists at
Shaw High School. Here a gym,
three floors above ground exists,
seats 300, one-third of the school
enrolment. Thus accommodations
are not available to the entire
student body, let alone the pub
