At Rock Springs
NewboId Schools

to get new additions
A classroom addition for ele-
mentary grade pupils will be con-
Structed at the Rock Springs high

projects, according to an an
nOuncement today by County
School Supt. Joe X. Nixon, will
be received by the Board of Ed
ucatiOn of Lincoln County at the
Superintendent office up until

Construction on the new
school structures will begin

be completed and ready for Oc-
cupancy until sometime during
the school term next year.

Springs will contain six class
rooms. plus a connecting corridor
together with certain minor alter
ationS to the existing building. 1t
will be of one story, fire resistant
construction. and contain approx
imately 5000 square feet of floor
