New School Bid. Gets Ready for Fall Opening
Final preparations are being made this summer at U>e new school building. There are four classrooms, a biology lab., science rooms, study hall, a music room, commercial department with 2 rooms, a library, a multi-purpose room, locker rooms tor boys and girls, space for kitchen facilities and office space.
Upon approaching the school on Lincoln Street one will see a structural stone facing on the out¬ side of the multi-purpose room. The board decided on the stone facing because of the beauty of the Edwin F. Deicke Park in Dona¬ hoe's Woods which is adjacent to the school and forms a rustic back ground for the structure. The fac¬ ing was added after the origin»l plan had been chosen by the Board of Education.
Upon entering the building one will notice the completely equip¬ ped secretary's office. In the office the master clock and communica- tiona system is located. Connected to it is the carpeted office of tbe
yet 4MH|^tetely ftmiMad but wQl •ene a dotMe use in that the Board of Education will hold their meetings in it.
Directly across from the main entrance is the opening into the library. This room 'is not com¬ pleted as yet. However, books from tlie existing library in the older building have been moved and are stored, ready to be placed on the shelves when they arrive. Smaller ante-rooms are on the ee^t side of the rooat In case of future expansion these rooms will l>c torn out and hallway constructed since future expansion will be to the sou^.
The library has four cathedral .style type windows which overlook the Edwin F. Deicke park.
To the west of the Kbrary on tho south side of the building is a large study hall. This room has the new type light weight plastic desks which can be easily moved.
The chalkboards in the building are black in color rather than the green which has been used in re¬ cent years in new school buildings.
The c(»nmercial department con¬ sists of two connecting rooms. The first room hax desks resembling a secretary's desk such as one might find in an office. This room will be uacd for teaching shorthand and bookkeeping. In the adjoining room are the typewriters for typ¬ ing classes. A glass panel sepa¬ rates the two rooms, thus enabling one teacher to watch two classes at ence. The typewriter's have been tao^fpA into one of the ante¬ rooms Of 4ids department.
Tfte ei^me westerly two rooms on tite tooth side of the building house the Hcience equipment. This is ile ijio«t moduli equipment available. It bas been completely insta&ed.
Across the hall from the science department is a room which will be used for vocal music. At pres¬ ent it contains only a piano.
