New Schools Are Planned!
For Air Force- Youngsters
School officials are moving to
provide classroom facilities for the
influx of children in the Golds
boro area as the number of serv
icemen and civilian employes
mounts at Seymour Johnson Air
Force Base.
Federal educational leaders have
alloted $799,710 to the Wayne
County -Board of Education to
build an eight-grade elementary
school, alongside the base’s hous
ing .■project.
That school, tentatively named
Meadow Lane School, is expected
to house about 1,050 pupils to be
the largest elementary school unit
within the county'.
High School Addition
City school officials also are |
planning a four-classroom addition
to Goldsboro High School to pro
vide space for tlie estimated 70
high school students expected to
live in the base housing project.
A request for $70,000 in federal
money for the addition is pending
in Washington.
Additional classroom space was,
opened when the city put the Golds-1
boro Junior High School into oper-j
ation last January. |
With an’ eye to future growth,
the city school board also has pur
chased a 17-acre lot on the Saul-
ston road near its intersection with
the Robinson Thru-way. When the
need for additional elementary
school space arises, the board
then will strive to put the lot into
use.
Catholic School Built
Catholic school leaders, headed
by Monsignor Edward T. Gilbert,
saw the need for additional class
room space for the present enroll
ment of St. Mary’s Catholic School
coupled with an increase in po
tential pupils on activation of the
base. They moved to have the new
parochial school in operation in
January.
The schooh built and eqhippqd
at a cost of $310,000, has an en
rollment of about 225 pupils rang
ing from kindergarten through the
eighth grade. It may be expanded
-to house a student body of 500.
Monsignor Gilbert also has ex
pressed plans to add the ninth

grade to tite school’s courses to al
low the school to add a junior high
school organization. Future plans
also include adding high school
courses when teachers become
available.
Plans for the Mea'dow.- Lane
School call for 3A classrooms, 12
for primary grades and 18 for ele
mentary classes, plus a variety of
additional rooms.
The multi - purpose building,
with a unique design in North Car
olina, will, have a butterflywing
.shape. Its design will provide a
maximum of covered play space
during inclement weather, the ar
chitects, Billy Griffin, architect,
and Allen Ingram, associate, re
ported.
The interior of the building will
be built so it can be converted,
from a gymnasium Jnto an audi
torium “by concertina - fabric walls.
Stressed in the design, Griffin
and Ingram said, were color, en
closed courts and exterior walls
faced with curtain walls. Ingram
explained that curtain walls is
the use of large glass windows and
aluminum mullions similar to the
United 'Nations building in New
YnrkL
Other structures on the grounds
will be a kitchen, cafeteria, admin
istrative wing, library which in
cludes a librarian’s office and a
conference room, a heating plant
and entrance hallway.
22-Acre Site
The school is to be built on a 22-
acre lot between US 70A and the
base reservation. Access to the
school will be from the highway
and-an extension of Meadow Lane
in the base housing project.
Grants from the federal govern
ment to the school districts here to
build and operate schools which
have children of servicemen and
c.wil service workers enrolled have
been likened to lQ.cal taxes to sup
port the schools.
