SCHOOL ARTICLES HIGHLIGHT
The news spotlight centers on
the school situation as the date of
the annual town meeting, BVsb. 23,
nenrs. Included in the 7(1 article
warrant are many controversial Is-
sues concerning a planning board ,
change in election day, amendments
to finance board by-laws, road con-
struction , appropriation requests
for dredging, for community build-
ing, and the installation of chimes
in the tower of the Chatham school.
However, Interest seems to be fo-
cused on the articles 'relating to
building and equipping either an
addition to the present school or
construction of an elementary
school, on the depot property. In
order that the matter be well-con-
sidered , a forum was held at the
Chatham school Wednesday night.
The following report of a survey
made by Miss Alice Beat and A.
Russell Mack , supervisors of educa-
tion , has been made public:
Mr. Mack and Miss Beal visited
the consolidated school In Chatham
on January 10 for the purpose of
studying the housing of the Chat-
hum school children .
The present building, which
houses both elementary and high
school pupils, Is inadequate; It is
the result of various remodellngs
which have be-m made to meet the
emergencies of many yeai'B and not
the result of long-term planning
which would have provided a well-
organized building. The number of
classrooms is inadequate; many of
the classrooms are crowded; sev-
eral of the classrooms which are
occupied by elementary school chil-
dren are too small ; the assembly
hall which is inadequate is used for
I a study hall; the cafeteria does not
meet accepted standards; there Is
no gymnasium in the building (the
available space is too far away to be
I used as much as it should be); the
i so-called library, which is in no
sense of the word a ' library, is
really the outer office of the prin-
cipal's office; there Is no space in
which the guidance counselor can
have privacy for conferences; the
home economics room is so lim-
ited that sewing and cooking have
to be alternated In order that one
class may sew while the food pre-
pared by the prpevious group Is be-
ing cooked ; the toilets are poor
and outmoded—the high school
students have to use toilets in the
cellar; the elementary students use
those upstairs; the town jail is
housed In one end of the building!!!
The above list Includes a few of
the inadequacies of the building. It
would be desirable, of course, to
eliminate this building and con-
struct a new consolidated school
which would be carefully planned
to meet all of the present educa-
tional needs of Chathum children
and provide plnns for future devel-
opment. This, however, would be
expensive and probably would not
be approved by the townspeople
unless the present building could
be used for some other town pur-
pose.
The second choice would lie to
build an addition on the present
building to house all elementary
! school children . We feel that this
addition should house elementary
school children because 1lie pres-
ent building could not easily be
adapted to their use; it could more
easily be remodeled and Improved
for high BChool purposes.
We recommend, also, that In ad-
dition to adequate elementary class-
rooms and toilet facilitie s , plans
include the following, located In
such a way that they will be easily
accessible from both elementary
and high school sections; office for
the superintendent or schools;
principal's office; rooms for guid-
ance counselor; library, cafeteria;
gymnasium ; auditorium; room for
audio-visual aids, music , student
activities (sometimes culled an all-
purpose room). I
We also recommend a complete '
remodelling of the present building
for high school purposes. Plans
would Include redecorating, im-
proved lighting, Improved set-up
for home economics, industrial
arts, laboratories , etc.
Any plans for a building program
should be concerned with the fol-
lowing:
1
. Tile educational program of the
schools.
2. The prpoblem of housing all o.'
the Chatham school children from
kindergarten through high school ;
in a building which will provide ull
of the facilities for carrying on the
accepted educational program.
Too great stress cannot lie put
on the ubove statement. Any plan
which singles out und develops any
part of the overall picture will re-
sult in makeshift planning which
may relieve an emergency but which
will result In the same hodge-
podge architecture which exists in
the ppresent building.

SENIOR PLAY SUCCESS
A well-chosen cast , ably directed
by Miss Marguerite Stewart and
Mrs. Madeline Freeman, presented
an outstanding performance last
Thursday night when "You 're Only
Young Once" was presented at the
Chatham Theatre by the Senior
Class of the Chatham High School.
The play in which all the charac-
ters were school people , was well-
suited for school presentation, yet
difficult due to the lnrgo cast, A
smooth performance, with the cnst
apparently at ease at all times, as
they portrayed the various high
school personalities and situations,
drew hearty applause from the ca-
pacity audience. Selections by Mrs.
Virginia Cu man and her string en-
semble were enjoyed preceding the
play and between the socond and
third acts. Miss Rosemary Roder-
ick , senior cluss member, offered
two vocal selections, accompanied
by W. W. Tlleston , between the
first anil second acts. Six members
of the Junior class, Helen Ham-
mond, Norma Wixon, Pain Kent ,

Patsy, served ns ushers, soiling

realized, completing the drive for
