To Retire August 81
% YEARS SERVICE

Benjamin Scorah, custodian at
Smyrna High School for almost
% years, will retire on August
81. Mr.. Scorah, who will be 65
in December of this year, has
served under four superintend-
ents. School officials announced
that the resignation of Mr.. Scor-
ah will leave a vacancy on the
custodial staff which they hope
to fill as soon as possible. The
firm of AL Nero and Sons, of
Laurel, Del, have been working
several weeks on the roof of the
Smyrna High School building. The
work is being done in such a
manner as to be bonded against
leaks for a twenty year period.
During the past year a number
of leaks occurred including a leak
in the science room which weak
ened plaster on the ceiling to the
extent that a section of plaster
about one foot in diameter came
loose. School officials feel that the
present work will prevent any
further damage to the interior of
the building. The renovation of
the home economics room in the
high school is almost complete.
All wiring and plumbing is now
in place, and all of the new kitch-
en- cabinets have been assembled.
1t will be necessary to paint the
room and possibly install a new
floor before the room will be
ready for occupancy in the fall.
