Walking down those creaking corridors, an alumnus can almost hear the laughs and salutations of classmates from generation past. That is, if the groans and squeaks dont drown out such nostalgic remembran ces. ON EVERY HAND THE EYES CEIVE A NEED for improvements. More than a year ago, the Box Elder Board of Education saw those needs and called in architect John Piers. They asked him to taak a look and then figure out a remodeling plan. Piers took the look and then advised the board not to remodel. It would be a better investment to build new, he stated. But the board was concerned with economy. They wanted good facilities but at the lowest cost. At the boards direction, Piers prepared plans for the first phase of a three-par- t remodeling program. BOARD MEMBERS were staggered when the low contractors bid was $365,000 This meant the overall remodeling project would exceed one million dollars. And Box Elder Junior High school would yet be an old building. The board turned thumbs down on ail bids and agreed that Piers was right in the, first place. Now the school officials are asking taxpayers to approve a $3.5 million bond issue to finance new buildings including Box El They propose to keep whats reason- ably useable and replace that which is inadequate. The gymnasium building will remain as will the science building. With some renovation, both are in good shape. But the main section of the school, built in phases from 1908 to 1918, together with the band room and two shop buildings are destined for removal.

PIERS ESTIMATES the entire project can be handled for $1,200,000 and give the school a capacity for 1,200 students. Remodeling, he figures, would have cost $1,030,000 and provided facilities for only 1,000 students.

This is a general election year, a time when even the most passive citizens perk up their ears for a listen. And some of the interest is expected to rub off on a handful of county races which include two seats on the county commission and three openings in the state legislature.
