Walter Bilyeu, with
a leant and a volunteer crew of half
a dozen are busy putting in the ap
proaches to the rock crusher, pre
paratory to hauling the gravel for
the foundation. With the assist
ance of every Scioite it is expected
that work will now move steadily
till the completion of the building
that will make Scio the proudest
community in the State.
Si hat has been done during the
w«-«-ks intervening since the bond
drive? A committee was. as you
know, chosen to act with the Stu
dent Council in safeguarding and
managing the planning and building
<>f the gymnasium. The late, la-
tm-nted Bert Hollis waa choeen by
School diretort. I)r. E. H. Hobson
bv the Student Body, and Milo
Bartu by the bondholders. Thia
committee met with the Student
( >uncil
immediately to diacua*
plant and ways and means
Mr.
Morrison and Mr. Ballin very oblig
ingly estimated the material and
cost without having, however, defi
nite plans to work from. Lyl* Fick-
lin presented the first valuable idea
for a plan and Milo Bartu laid be
fore the committee other valuable
suggestion*
These tip*, together
with others by Morriaoo, Ballin.
Hollis, Hoagland. Proepal. Cameron,
Hrudka. and others, were worked
into a satisfactory form and aketch-
ee made by Mr. Bartu and Mr. Bal-
lin. From these sketches a bill of
lumlx-r was made and presented to
various lumber companies for bids.
The last bid waa received Tuesday
and then work waa started.
In the meantime the bond* were
printed and are being delivered at
odd moments by the school pupils.
The work of collection has been
rather slow due to the fact that no
exp-rienced collector has been do
ing this sizable task. The results
of the lH>nd deliveries have been
very gratifying nevertheless. Bond-
holders have proved not only willing
but anxious to exchange their tens
for the attractive bonds. If any
b • idh Jders tire of waiting fora
collector they may send payment by
any responsible student and the
b<>nd will l>e delivered immediately.
