occasion to go there twice
since. The beauty of the build
ing is very impressive and it
is also very functional as class
rooms. The students and pa
trons of the district should
both be proud of this facility
and very happy that the school
board financed it before build
ing so that we were saved
thousands of dollars.
The patrons of the district
having paid for this beautiful
facility for the good of the
school population we too should
be able to enjoy it. Why could
n’t an association be formed
for the purpose of bringing in
entertainment of various kinds
for all of the people to enjoy?
Think about it—talk about it,
it is possible.
