Show WE ARE BOOSTING FOR THE PLAN TO LISTEN TO "SALUTE TO NEPHI" ON WED. JULY 5 - K S L UTE STAMPEDE Nephi, Juab Co., Utah, Thursday, June 23, 1938 The Times, Vol. 29, No. 24 NEPHI LADY DIES AT PAYSON HOSPITAL THURSDAY School Building Project Wins Approval $90,000 Building j Will Be Constructed Here Soon , Construction will start in approximately sixty days on Juab school district's new $90,000.00 physical education and mechanic arts building, with the approval of a P W A grant being received from the government Wednesday. The grant is for $40,000.00, and the amount will be used in connection with $50,000 to be secured by bonds of the board which will be issued under authority of a recent bond election. The building will be located on the main campus of the school, immediately south and slightly east of the present main building. It is to be built on the spot now known as the south-ealawn. Voters of the district approved by election on May 14, the issu ance and sale of bonds amounting to $50,000 for the district's share of the building. The floating of these bonds will ffjV increase the tax burden of th6 school district in the least, the present levy for debt service and bonded debts being ample to carry the payments over a several years period. The building' is to be so constructed to take care of the modern trend in education, that of vocational work instead of solid academic teaching. It has been pointed out in previous articles on the subject of the new building that this method of school work will give ample chance to the student who shows a trend toward mechanics and not to "book" subjects such as chemistry, mathematics and others. It will give this type of student a chance to prepare himself for a trade which in later years will prove valuable. All types of auto and farm machanics will be taught, according to the present tentative plans. The lower floor of the building will accomodate the large mechanical arts department, and the upper floor will house a physical education department, complete with the latest type equipment for car ing for all types of indoor games g and activities. A spacious basketball playing floor is planned, with a seating capacity which will fully take care of all crowds that may desire to witness the games. This has been a serious drawback of the present gymnasium, and has not only been very uncomfortable for the spectators, but crowds the players and at times has resulted in injury. The new building will be of the latest type architecture, with a type of brick to correspond with the present building, which was opened to the students in 1925. Heretofore the mechanic arts department of the school has been located on the Central school campus, necessitating the students to go the entire distance for their classes. The noise created by the meach-anicarts department has been a source of disturbance to the primary grades in the central school building and the equipment which the small workshop housed was not satisfactory for work other than wood working. $n the new shop, it is expected that the latest g type machinery as well as facilities for metal work and mechanical construction will be installed. The officers of the Juab school district are to be complimented very highly on their foresight in securing this new building approp-ratlo- n for the school district. It is something that will truly be a blessing to those students who for the next fifty or more years will attend the Juab high school. The project is under the P W A setup and a contract will be let in the near future for the $90,000.00 building. body-buildin- al wood-workin- ENGAGEMENT OF NEPHI GIRL IS ANNOUNCED Mrs. Sarah A.
