Continuation
School Board meeting from last
Monday saw completion of many

items - of . unfinished’ business.
After an inspection of the Army.
Hut at Mount Newton school,
Mr. Sansbury and H, Lohr, main-
tenance dept., recommended’ to
the Board that: the Army Hut: pur-
chased for‘a gym be moved away
from .the building and placed in
line with the present Industrial
Arts hut. The building. would
be used as an Industrial Arts
building and the present .Indus-
trial Arts building converted for
use of Home Economics students.
The recommendation was approv-
ed by the Board.

The problem of a combination
gymnasium-auditorium for .Mount
Newton school was discussed. In-
spector J. E. Brown, told «the

‘Board that the school lacks only

a gymnasium, home. economics
room and a library, ‘it could: be
rated: as -a Secondary school’ or
Junior: High, he ‘said, if these
rooms were added. Martin ‘Neil-
son’ suggested that an architect
be asked.. to prepare - rough
sketches. and approximate’ costs
for ‘a gym-auditorium. © “It ‘will
‘take many ‘months to, do, and’ we
might as well obtain, the informa-

* tion now,” he said.
