Northern Highs program held outside of the build
ing, and fortunately the elements kind The evening

permanent public address systems.
More students being graduated from high schools

the complete program for the two high schools and their
plans may mature for few years But right is
good time for the people to realize what is needed and to
phasze it at every opportunity.
These audoriums will be available for performances
all kinds public well scholastic They will be county
wide in their usefulness let's make them big enough
their purpose. School and county officials probably
know of this need But that many people through
out the county are not the problem We do
share by giving support to those who would have the
planning responsibility If do it properly when do build
will have the everlasting thanks of the future generations
of school children who will be travelling this way.
