| Improvements Since Spring: The high school building and interior fixtures have undergone a siege of rejuvenation during our absence. The most noticable improvent to the exterior is the removal of the old chimneys. The places where they used to be are shingled over. Here's hoping soot showers belong to the past. The desks have been treated to two coats of cherry stain, which certainly adds to the looks of things in spite of the "jack-knife carved initials". There's a new desk in the assembly hall, new chair and desk in the mathematics room and three new students desks in the English room. The floors have been oiled and the woodwork has been oiled and polished. Standard commercial desks have been ordered for the commercial room and it will be completely reseated. A ew typewriter has also bee added to the equipment. The "air traps" have been taken off of the windows in the English room, in an atempt to prevent or escape such chilly attacks of the north wind. With these additions and substractions we are anticipating a more invigorating atmosphere than in previous winters. |
