Construction:
Work on the laying of the foun-
dations for the extension to the
elementary school wing and the
cafeteria extension has progressed
rapidly during the past two weeks.
1t is expected that all these fOun-
dations for these two areas will
have been poured by the end of
this week and erection of walls can
begin shortly. Unfortunately, steel
required for construction will
probably not be delivered until
sometime in January and this will
slow down progress in weeks to
come.
Tentative plans for the expan-
sion of the gymnasium-auditoriun
have been approved by the build.

gineers are working out details
on this area of the construction
