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

program, has- taken this trend into

WHY NOT GO FISHING? seems to be an oft-asked question, and just at often answered in
the affirmative. At least you'd think so if you drove up along the shores of
Upper Klamath Lake and noted the number of men and women trying to lure a fish onto
their hook. These two fishermen were pictured recently just past the Fremont bridge, taking
advantage of a sunny day.
Three Stores
Said Robbed
PORTLAND Wl Three grocery
stores were robbed of more than
$400. here Sunday night. Police
nabbed two men shortly after the
third holdup, and accused them
of committing all three holdups.
Police said one man would go
inside with a gun, while his partner
waited around the corner with a
disguising coat for the gunman to
don when he emerged with the
loot. A customer caught onto the
trick and followed them at the
third store, police said.
The arrested "men were booked
as Robert Dale Thompson, 27, and
Smith Eugene Wells, 28, both of
Portland.
