Information Concerning
Tryon Colored School
There seems to be some misun
derstanding about certain equip
ment for the new colored school.
Under war conditions it has
been a very difficult job to bring
this building operation ot a full
completion. The work has cost
more than under normal conditions
because material advanced so
rapidly and most items had to
have a priority secured before
they could be bought at all. That
added greatly to the total cost.
The School Board had to borrow
funds to finish the school and
found finally that there was not
quite enough to properly seat the
auditorium. There were sufficient
funds to procure and arrange all
class room desks and other equip
ment necessary for the operation
of class work in all the rooms.
Very cheap and inadequate bench
es could have been made for the
auditorium but it was felt that
if a little more money was avail
able the proper type of bench or
seat could be procured.
In order not to waste money
on inadequate and useless benches
for the auditorium the Parent
Teachers association s u g gested
that they could raise funds from
friends in Tryon and they under
took this. With this additional
help the auditorium will be more
completely equipped. There has
not been money asked for any
other part of the school or equip
ment since state, federal and Try
on Sbhool District funds have built
and equipped the new plant.
