( The present plan was adopted in l'Jli by boa I'd members when lack of secondary facilities became evident.) A switch to the old (Kt-'l organ ialional plan would require establishment of a third junior hi '-id school, i The plant could be built , an 'existing cicmcnuii-y bidding could be altered, or l"inporary excess rooms in the high school (caused i by withdrawal of the freshman 1 classi could be user). The excess ! would be gone within four ears 1 by n a lu r a I grow ill of the inh school.
