(Coatlnued from pare 1) atlon of the academio program, if a split lunch period is instituted to permit students to be served in smaller numbers. This plan Is now operating successfully In other Oregon cities. ( The wing to be built southwest of the main building would provide in addition to the auditorium, caf eteria, music rooms, ten class rooms and a large storage and supply room. Reconstruction with present plant will provide seven additional classrooms. The old county libra rv. sold some months ago to the school district will be razed. Student traffic to the new wins wui oe speeaeo. up with a ' new system of corridors and an over- head passageway from the main building to the third floor of the wing. The present auditorium will be converted to a larzn llbrnrv nhm.t which, all academic activities will revolve. This concent- of a cen tralized library, according to the architect Is now beinir used in new- high school buildings' throughout tne state. Conversion of the nresent audi. torium into the library will prob ably get under way soon after the results of the election become known. With Alameda Street now naved, the entire grounds are circled with concrete for parkin. A further parking potential is an area south of the canal should a bridge be built at tne root of Monclair street. The high school building, when completed will not be a remodeled plant but will be as adequate and complete as any other of compar able size In the state serving 2000 students. The plan has been de veloped by Perrin to take -advan tage of all modern facilities needed for present day education methods and to use those facilities to the best advantage. mere has been a growing senti ment in the city toward public' use of schools for functions other than school activities, according; to mem bers of. the school board and the plan, outlined for the expansion program, has- taken this trend into consideration, ; to?
