The ground floor, except for the auditorium, should be ready to ac commodate students next Monday. Except for minor finishing touch es, work should be complete then. Sacred Heart Catholic Parish is planning dedication ceremonies to be scheduled sometime during the first half of March. The building, engineered by Architect Howard Perrin, is of in formal, massive brick design. It contains three homerooms and various store rooms upstairs and a big science room that can be divided by a sliding curtain, a photographic darkroom and the auditorium downstairs. It is ot fire resistant construc tion, and all rooms are furnished with acoustic panels to cut down echoes. The carefully engineered audi torium will seat more than 500. It widens, lanlike, (roin the stage to the rear for best acoustics, and the ceiling is studded with vee shaped ridges for the same pur pose. Workmen will soon install cur tains on the roomy stage which may be arranged in a square or rounded backdrop. A heating system circulates hot water through a series of radia tors built much like those used in autos. They will eliminate ham- mcnag steam pipes and allow better control of temperature. The building also features an automatic sprinkling fire protection ystom which automatically rings fire alarms in all segments of the academy in case of fire. Juniors, sophomores and fresh men use second-floor classrooms for English, math, Latin and re gions courses. Journalism stu dents also use the English room. Social sciences, commercial sub jects and Spanish will continue to be taught in the older building. New classrooms arc walled on one side completely with windows except for a low bookshelf run ning room-length beneath them. Each has a sink and drinking fountain. They also are supplied amply with blackboards and bulle tin boards. Pastel colors harmonize with smart, modern desks. Builtin steel lockers line one side of corridors on both floors. The annex was first to have been opened at Christmas, but construction was delayed. It cost $229,425. Vik Construction Com pany of Eugene, and 20 subcon tractors built it. NEW CLASSROOMS were opened recently io Sacred Heart Academy students, thus al leviating crowded conditions due to heavy enrollment this year. This is a home room on the second floor. Five Juveniles-Reprimanded Five juveniles two of them girls were lectured sternly by ju venile authorities after city police found them in a parked car in which beer had been drunk. With the juveniles was Emer son Jerome Adams, 18, Route 3, Wocus, who forfeited $25 in muni cipal court on a charge of being a minor in possession. Juvenile officers said interviews with the juveniles involved, with their parents and Lawrence Lusk, liquor inspector, determined that he juveniles had been invited into the car and had not known beer was in the vehicle. Youths Face Damage Quiz At least 15 juveniles questioned in the wholesale destruction of a summer cabin are willing to help repair damages. So the juveniles said at a mass meeting of 20 youths questioned in the juvenile office about de struction wrought a Denny Creek cabin owned by Dave and Hubert Tot ton. Deputy Sheriff Del Summers and City Juvenile Officer Ray Howard brought 20 juveniles in for ques. tioning about the early December raid brought about by a drinking party. Another youth, Lyle Dean Mc Farland, 18, was charged with malicious destruction of property, pleaded guilty, and was fined $200 by. District Judge D. E. Van Vac- tor. A dispute between youths invit ed and youths not invited to a barbecue at the cabin site appar ently brought about the raid. De struction advanced from throwing beer bottles to ripping apart win dows, doors, and furniture. Dam age was estimated about $2,000, The juvenile office said five youths refused to offer assistance in reconstructing the cabin because they stoutly maintained that they had nothing to do with its destruc tion. They said they had been in vited to a party, saw what was going on, and went home. Whether the cabin is to be re paired, with the help of parents. was yet to be decided. One of the owners said he had not been approached with the idea.

Sentence was passed by Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg after Carswell testified briefly in h i s own behalf in an attempt to lessen his sentence. Carswell was convicted January 19 by a circuit court jury that de liberated only 14 minutes before icaching its verdict. The young airman was arrested on a down town street corner October 1 on a charge of selling marijuana to an other Kingsley Field airman. Carswell had not taken the stand in his own trial. But before sen tencing he testified he had ob tained money from the other air man, passed the money to a Broad Street resident known as "Light" Brown, and had driven around the block while Brown obtained the drug. Defense attorneys Richard C. Beesley and P. K. Puckett em phasized to the court that this was Carswell's first offense, and main tained he had been talked into making the transaction.
