PsgHTwittk THETKHENHY PLATNDEXLER Wonder Lake BOARD PLANS ADDITION TO LOCAL SCHOOL by Jane Ducey -- 27181 Betty Burns--5501 The board of education of district No. 36 recognized the need for additional classrooms at Harrison school next year at their meeting Tuesday night. Present enrollment stands at 410 and accoi'ding to a census taken by the PTA there will be fifty-six children enrolled in kindergarten next fall. Only twenty - six children are in eighth grade to be graduated, end the seventh grade class presently has forty-four students. There is a good possibility that next year's eighth grade class could be split in that fifty students is the teacher load for any one room, i A tentative projection of the picture in the next five years tvould suggest that two rooms end two teachers could be needed in addition in 1959-60, or an average of one room and pne teacher in addition each year through -1963. School enrollment has increased by more than 100 students from 1953 to 1958. • In line with rising costs the board voted to raise the tuition of students out of the district from $100 pet year to $30 )per month, with exceptional cases to be reviewed by the Jboard. At present there are no out of district students at Harrison. A stereophonic record player will be purchased for the school by vote of the board. -- r Wr 6, 1858 Andy Casterne dressed as Amos and Andy, Chipper Pierce dressed as Huckleberry Finn.
