COuSII vi Vic OlO W a DuIlQl
in many special features.
Catawba's Board of Education,
headed by Roy Drickhammer as
president, planned a special meet
ing this week for formal inspec-
ton and acceptance of the struc-
ture. Plans for an open house and
dedication are being worked out
in conjunction with the P.T.A.
The new building is used for the
first five grades, already moved
in, with the sixth, seventh and
eighth grade using the old build
ing. The long, one-story addition
has added five classrooms, lobby
and assembly room, board and
boiler rooms to give much needed
additional space to the crowded
school. Mrs. j. B. Nelson is prin-
cipal of the school.
The two buildings provide a
striking contrast in the old and
new style of school architecture,
point out the architects.
The contrast is marked by the
squareness of the old school with
its dark brick and the 293-foot
length of the addition with its
light face exterior; the tall mar
row windows with a minimum of
lighting and the new glass walls"
with maximum of natural light
ing; the pitched, chingled hip roof
and the flat tar and gravel roof
and the definite split of play and
traffic areas.
The in-line claSsroomS and side
corridor of the addition are light
ed by wall to wall panels of glass
in steel sash. A three-foot clere-
story on the corridor wall adds to
classroom illumination. Each class
rom has an individual entrance
from the play area, which relieves
congestion in the halls, and is a
desired factor in fire prevention.
All classroomS are almost Who'll
ly Self-contained. The first and
second grades each have toilets
for boys and girls, and the third,
fourth and fifth grades have their
own hOt-water and sink facilities
for washing or work along with a
maximum of cupboard and shelf
space.
An extensive use of tack boards
is seen inthe classerooms and in
cludeS separate ones at the side of
each corridor door for more public
display of selected class items. A
peg board in the lobby allow Sd
display of school announcements
and projects.
A unique feature included in
the heating contract are low metal
shelves extending on each side of
the hot water heating unit under
the large windows: Beneath and
behind the shelves is an air intake
and heating area which combine
to produce an air current move
ment, keeping windows draft free
and spreading heat evenly through
out the room. The device turns
waste space into extra storage.
The wing walls separating each
classroom project as columns or
the exterior to form panels OF
glass, relieving the monotony OF
continuous window. These walls
are load bearing, with the steel
joiSts reversed" to run the length
of the building allowing larger
window area.
For the first time, the Catawbs
Board of Education will have its
own meeting room, which also car
be used for small gatherings oi
parent-teacher or community meet
ings. A small kitchenette adjoinS
The larger assembly room may
be used for school or community
affairs, and include a stage anC
space for seating about 200 per

NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM

Cooperatives throughout Ohio
and Ottawa County are working
closely with teachers of vocational
agriculture. This came out last
week in meeting | attnded at
Fremont. Present from the county
were Clarence Trnsthausen, Cecil
Miller, George Orwog, Jr., Alvin
AugSburger, Burl Barker and Wal
ter Furbay. The latter three are
teachers of vocational agriculture.
Cecil and his son Jerry took part
on the program. Jerry told of his
trip to the American Institute of
Cooperation held OF Cornell Uni
versity last summer. Cecil told
how Black Swamp Production
Credit is cooperating with Elmore
FLA to teach credit. You'll be
hearing more about these educa-
tional devices that are giving us
better boys today for better farm
ers tomorrow.
Directors of the Ottawa County
Cattle Feeders Assn met last Fri
day night and completed plans for
their annual All beef banquet to
be held December 8. Location is
the same as last year. Elmore Re-
formed Church. The boys still say
fall you can eat for SITS and

note in the picture is limitation

the door, cause the demand for
tickets is greater than the hall
will accommodate. So see one of
the following real soon for your
ticket: Albert Myerholz, Lloyd
Sutton, Frank Kardatzke, Gaylord
Croll or Howard James.
Another banquet that same week
