HIGHLANDS SCHOOL RECEIVES
PARTIAL FACE LIFTING
Our thanks are extended to the
crew of men and boys from the I^fetcon
County School Maintenance Shop in
Franklin x^ho came to Highlands during
this suinmer to make major and minor re
pairs and iriiproveraents on our school,
-An incomplete list of the work done
x^ould include roof repairs, painting
the base of the walls in the gymnasium,
painting the boys and girls restrooms,
painting complete walls in several rooms,
painting the base of the x-ialls in most
rooms, and minor repairs to doors, desks,
and basebaards.
The boiler room shox^s an outstand
ing example of the work accomplished in
the school this s-ommer. It x^ras painted
from top to bottom. One eye-witness
who can give a nearly complete account
of the improvements made on the build
ing is lawrence Tritt, who will re
main as custodian for the coming year.
These improvements already made can
serve for us as a starting point to con
tinue in the direction of making our
school not only more appealing to the
eye, but a place x-rhere the students are
given an opportunity to create their
own desire to receive an education.
Sxiccess in achieving student motivation
is planned to be reached by both the
non-graded program and by the closely
supervised reading program to be offered
by members of the Teacher Corps,
Already this X7eek, several towns
people have contributed materials to
the school x-^hich xirill be used in one
classroom to help provide for more
adequate group participation for the
students. In order that the ti7o men
tioned programs be given an even better
chance to function, additional donations
T^ould be appreciated. If you are in
terested in this plea, call the school
(526-21ij7) during the day, or my house
(526-3107) in the evenings. IfiLghlands
School is our school and it can be
X'Jhat we make it.
