ed which we then hoped would
complete unit two (the science
wing and the gymnasium and
shop areas. But when bids were
opened costs had risen so much
that only the science wing was
found to be possible. The board
and school authorities went a
head with the building of the
science wing, knowing full we'll
that more room would be need
ed Immediately for the high
school occupancy. After consid-
cradle deliberation it was de-
cided to ask for another 800, 900
in the spring of 1852 to build
as much of the physical educa-
tion plant as would be possible.
BY careful planning, the boys
and girls shower and. locker
rooms, the present recreation
room, together with directors
offices, were obtained. These
rooms are parts of the original
plans drawn by the architect
in 1947 but with only the easter
ly portion of the planned gym
wing being built. This area will
be utilized as a part of the
new structure. This stage gave
a temporary assembly room
and recreation space which al
lowed the movement of the top
four grades to the new location.
Desperately needed space was
thereby freed for the ever ex-
panding elementary and junior
high school.
"A year ago, due to Increased
tax duplicate, bonds having
paid off and due to the fact
that the legal debt limit was
raised to nine per cent, we
decided to try again to COM
plete the physical education
structure and build unit three,
consisting of shops and music
rooms which were so sorely
needed. A $235 200 bond issue
was passed and, after some un7
foreseen delays bids were let
in August of 1855. Again the
rising costs of labor and mater
ial, due to the spiral of infla-
ton. brought the bids for these
units to over $330,000 almost
500 900 more than we had avail
able. The board then decided to
build the shop and m u S i C
rooms and also the much need
ed parking areas and other
ground improvements, at to-
tai cost of $169,0O This left
approximately $65, 900 to be ap-
piled to the physical education
building completion. The bids
then presented for the physical
education addition were in the
neighborhood of $500, 900. To
this figure we are now adding
a percentage for initiation and
money to buy bleachers and OF
her equipment.
Therefore, we are asking the
voters to make available $780,
600 necessary to complete this
part of our building program.
If passed, these bonds will run
for about twenty-three years
at an average of 10 mills or
ten cents on a hundred dollar
valuation

History of the Building Program
The Chardon high school
building, on Chardon avenue just
east of Route "A, was first con-
cetved at a joint board and
P.T.A. mass meeting in the fall
of l947 when the need for more
grounds became urgent. Mr..
George Talbot was then superin-
tendent and was largely respon-
sible for gathering material
and formulating plans for the
new building. At this meeting
it gas recommended that the
new high school be built on the
Booster property. The board,
consisting of Hal Burr, Presl-
dent, David Sage, Raymond Os-
born, Clifford Babcock and Rob-
ert Cullop, purchased additional
land to obtain frontage on Char
don Avenue and this, added to
the eight and one-half acres do
mated by the Booster club, con-
stituted the site for the high
school building.
Later the board interviewed
a number a architectural firms
and from these selected Mr.. Ar
thur Sidells to prepare plans
for unit type high school
plant which could be built IN
stages as money became avail
able. At the December, 1947,
meeting this board took the nee
essary steps to place bond
issue OF $4,000 before the vo-
ters. This was the maximum a
mount allowed by the law at
that time. The issue. passed IN
the November election OF 1s48
and the contract was let to build
the first unit of the present
high school, which consisted OF
six standard classroomS, cafe
terra and kitchen and offices.
These rooms were completed IN
May. 1851, and occunind Nv
upper elementary grades for the
next two years.
The elementary school was
growing rapidly, taking more
and more space from the high
school area This growth has
been at the rate of two class
rooms per year since the build
ing program has been undertak-
en-. In 1850 the board and school
administration deemed it neceS-
sary to try to complete the high
school north of town by adding
stages two (the science wing
three (the physical education
wing, and four (the shop area),
as soon as money was available
More bonding capacity then ex-
listed because of increased pro-
perty valuation and because the
legislature had increased the
amount of legal bonded indebt-
edness to eight per cent. A
$3.50 900 bond issue was approx

16th-17th Century periods of dis
covery.
Before the program was con-
cluded, Jack Riley, Raleigh pub
lie relations expert with Carolina
Power and Light Company now,
but formerly on the editorial staff
of News and Observer and then a
member of the University of
North Cardinals school of journal
ism faculty, on behalf of the North
Carolina Press Association pre-
scented Sir Stanley Squirting with
a silver cigaret case bearing the
great seal of the State of North
Carolina. This was done as recip-
rocation for the hospitality and
courtesies he had shown Tar Heel
newsmen on their N. c. Press
Association cruise to Bermuda last
year. Manager Dick Jordan pre-
sented each of the distinguished
guests present with one of the
now rare Lost Colony commemora-
tive half dollars. The group ap-
peared before approximately 1900
persons in the audience, the larg-
est of the current season and it
was an appreciative audience
which rose to their feet as the dis
tinguished Governors were intro
duced.

Funds have also been received
for clearing snags and similar de-
bris from Contentnea Creek be-

In the field of flood control, Col
onel Rowland said some money is
on hand to examine Core Creek
above New Bern, the Neuse Riv-

The Neuse River study, similar
to the current investigation of the
Cape Fear River basin, involves
not only flood control but also
navigation, drainage, water pollu-
ton, and water supply with the
objective of providing greater
utilization of land and water re-
sources. 1t is described as a pre-
liminary examination to determine
if a survey report is justified.
Ocracoke Inlet is scheduled to
