Russell Building houses 348.
Up for renewal this year is
a 10 mill operating levy for
current expenses in the local
schools. The levy, originally
voted in 1850 for a period of
five years, followed the consol-
idatiOn of the school district
and at that time was the ma
jor tax levy for school support.
At the present time, the levy is
referred to by G. Robert Fox
as the bread an butter levy, in
that it produces an income of
over $93 900 per year for school
operation. Failure of voters
to approve such a levy would
seriously endanger the educa-
tional effort at all Levels ard
reduce materially the quality
and amount of instruction in
the public schools. The levy re-
presents over one-fOurth of the
annual budget for the opera
ton Of the schools.

WEST GEAUGA - ConStru-
ction of the classroom addition
to the West Geauga High school

neared. the time when steel
would become available 70 :
completion of the building. Work
has been undertaken on i'm =
provement Of the site, including
shaping and fitting the ground
in preparation for fall seeding
The general contractor, the
Hamann Construction Company
Of WilIoughby was completing
work on extension of drive .
way.
Windows are expected to be
installed during the first week
Of November it was stated.
Floors are complexion all shop
areas except the ship. The ma
jor issue seemed to'be delivery
Of steel anxiously awaited for
the building. Steel is a current
construction shortage.
When completed in early Jan
uary, the high school addition
will bring the number of class
rooms to niniteen in the high
school, thus enabling the school
to accommodate the total high
school population of AIT, in .
cluding the7th grades now at
Chesterland elementary build
ing, under one roof.
The addition provides facilities
tiles for general instruction, in
duStrial arts, music, home &c
onomicS, commercial studies,
and physical education. The ad-
dition does not include a gym
naSium, however, and space
available for physical education
will be necessarily limited to
the type of activity that can
be carried on in a limited
space.
One feature of the addition
providing for flexibility in plan
ming is a provision whereby the
corridor may at a later date
be extended through the eXer-
else room, thereby dividing it
into two claSSroomS for ad-
ditional instructional apaceS
Another feature is provision for
extending the home econom =
mics department into two 70
three rooms when the program
requires the services of more
than one teacher. Not knowing
how soon anotherroom might
become available for music,
school officials are treat OF n G
one room axoustically and fit
ting the room with risers for
vocal and instrumental music.
