Show SUPERINTENDENT OUTLINES PLAN OF REMODELING FOR HIGH SCHOOL Cafeteria, Gymnasium, Heating Plant Included In Program; Revamping Of Interior Underway J Plans for remodeling and enlarging en-larging the Roosevelt high school building are being put into force and actual work on the structure's struc-ture's interior has been started, announced Superintendent W. J. Bond during the week. The Board of Education at its last meeting approved the appointment appoint-ment of Bert Burgess as Duchesne Du-chesne county school building and grounds supervisor and indicated in-dicated that he will devote the major portion of his time to Roosevelt high while the pro gram of renovation is being carried car-ried out. With but six weeks remaining before the 1946-47 school year opens crews of workmen are now engaged at the high school remodeling and redecorating the interior. It is unlikely that anything any-thing more than the immediate demands of the old building can be met before classes are called. But the schedule of work outlined outlin-ed for the complete remodeling and enlarging of the building will be carried out during the fall and throughout the winter. New Construction Listed According to the outline submitted sub-mitted by Mr. Bond, the following follow-ing plans will be developed with respect to the Roosevelt high school building: Remodeling and painting of the interior; construction of additional ad-ditional classrooms; a new cafeteria, cafe-teria, 25 x 42 feet with adequate adjoining storage space; new shower and rest rooms for boys on the west side of the building; the installation of a heating sys-l tern capable of heating the pres-1 ent building, its new additions and the Toyack chapter house and the construction of a new gymnasium large enough to meet the needs of the area served by Roosevelt high. Blue prints of the cafeteria, the heating system and the gymnasium gym-nasium are now being prepared by architects and it is expected that all work, including thevcon-struction thevcon-struction of the gym will be completed by .the end of the school year in 1947. "We will be ready to go on actual construction con-struction wo,rk the moment the architects release the plans," declared de-clared Mr. Bond. Assurance has been given by both the Board of Education and Superintendent Bond that the revamping re-vamping program designed for the Roosevelt high school will in no way interfere with the proposed pro-posed Union high school. Work on the old building has been scheduled to meet immediate student needs with the thoughl of converting it into a junior high school when the Union high school becomes a reality. As work on the Roosevelt high school progresses fire hazard; will be eliminated and the building build-ing made generally sound. Teachers School Slated Simultaneously with his an-louncement an-louncement of the plans for the high school building, Mr. Bond advised that J. Eldred Allred has been named principal of the Roosevelt elementary school to replace Leland Wilde who has transferred to Park City. He further fur-ther advised that a school for teachers will be held in Roosevelt, Roose-velt, September 2 to 7 inclusive.
