Citizen's Group Making Study Of Looal Schools Recently a Citizens' .dvisory Committee was appointed by 'the Shelton School Board and one sec- tion Of this committee is making a thorough study of the District's building and financial needs. In an effort to become thoroughly acquainted with the buildings now in use, the following sub-commit- tee Inembe made a tour of each building on April 7th and 8th: Robert Kieburtz, chairman, Mrs. W. B. Judah, Jim Barrom, Don Brown, Freeman Felt, Frank Mar- anville and R. W. Oltxnan. After observation and discussion with the various principals, the committee bectinte aware o the satisfactory, as well as the unsat- isfactory, building areas on the Junior and Senior High School lev- el. The Irene S. Reed High School and the Junior High School are both inadequate in almost every respect. The rooms are small, poorly lighted and generally over- crowded. Both buildings were planned for a certain number of students but that number didn't anticipate the expanding enroll- tent both schools have faced in recent years and, more particu- larly, the bulge that is entering the'seventh grade in September, 1959. The Grant C. Angle Building is considered very good,®bttt houses only certain departments, inch)d- ing home economics, industrial arts, mnsie, conlnlercia] slid phys- ical education. THE PR.ESENT enrollment for the two schools, including grades seven through twelve, is an even twelve hundred. In 1959-60 that number will rise to about thir- teen hundred. By 1963 or 1964 there will be approximately fifteen hundred fifty These figures are based on the present population in this area and do not take into account any industrial expansion which might cause a Sharp re- vision upward. Classrooms and general building facilities are needed immediately for these added students" and the cooperative effort of the Advisory Committee and School Board will work toward this ehd. The over-all problem bec0mbs increasingly complicated when space for and possibilities of ex- pansion of the present Junior nd Senior High buildings are consid- ered. The High School building, located a(t constructed as it is, cannot be expanded The Junior High, because of its location and general p I an of construction makes Rpi*nsion possible but such' expansion might not be feasible. The Gltlt C. Angle building Thurs, Grange News PROG I{E,, met last F)'idav evening with an excepti()nnlly good at lendanee.

Shelton, located in the land of wide open spaces, finds itself in a position where actual space for: the Junior and Senior High Schools almost non-existent.

Citizen's Group Making Study Of Looal Schools Recently a Citizens' .dvisory Committee was appointed by 'the Shelton School Board and one sec- tion Of this committee is making a thorough study of the District's building and financial needs. In an effort to become thoroughly acquainted with the buildings now in use, the following sub-commit- tee Inembe made a tour of each building on April 7th and 8th: Robert Kieburtz, chairman, Mrs. W. B. Judah, Jim Barrom, Don Brown, Freeman Felt, Frank Mar- anville and R. W. Oltxnan. After observation and discussion with the various principals, the committee bectinte aware o the satisfactory, as well as the unsat- isfactory, building areas on the Junior and Senior High School lev- el. The Irene S. Reed High School and the Junior High School are both inadequate in almost every respect. The rooms are small, poorly lighted and generally over- crowded. Both buildings were planned for a certain number of students but that number didn't anticipate the expanding enroll- tent both schools have faced in recent years and, more particu- larly, the bulge that is entering the'seventh grade in September, 1959. The Grant C. Angle Building is considered very good,®bttt houses only certain departments, inch)d- ing home economics, industrial arts, mnsie, conlnlercia] slid phys- ical education. THE PR.ESENT enrollment for the two schools, including grades seven through twelve, is an even twelve hundred. In 1959-60 that number will rise to about thir- teen hundred. By 1963 or 1964 there will be approximately fifteen hundred fifty These figures are based on the present population in this area and do not take into account any industrial expansion which might cause a Sharp re- vision upward. Classrooms and general building facilities are needed immediately for these added students" and the cooperative effort of the Advisory Committee and School Board will work toward this ehd. The over-all problem bec0mbs increasingly complicated when space for and possibilities of ex- pansion of the present Junior nd Senior High buildings are consid- ered. The High School building, located a(t constructed as it is, cannot be expanded The Junior High, because of its location and general p I an of construction makes Rpi*nsion possible but such' expansion might not be feasible.
