Milford High School News

The new junior high school,
being built on the Nutter proper
ty, will have several distinct
advantages over the present
junior high.
The modern school will be en-
tirely air-conditioned for the
comfort and betterment OF
classroom work. Extra wide
corridors will provide for the
increasing enrollment and the
present overcrowded conditions
will be eliminated. A school
store will be a permanent part
Of the building with facilities
built-in for easier maintenance. e.
Large dressing rooms for boys
and girls physical education
classes will eliminate the pres
ent crowded locker rooms. This
will enable more students to
have physical education more
frequently.
Facilities will be such that
each classroom can be quickly
and easily blocked out for show
ing films, slides, and any other
audio- visual material. Large
groups, such as departmental
and class meetings, will have
available to them larger rooms
compared to the present facili-
ties.
Transported students will be
sheltered In inclement weather
by a covered walkway.
