! A je Three Journalism Play Coming Don't Fail ti uauo See It Volume V RALEIGH, N. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1927 Number 2 lb JJtttfottt 1 NEW HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE ERECTED IN WEST RALEIGH Raleigh School Board Not In tending To Let Schools Become Crowded WILL BE LOCATED ON ' SMALLWOOD PROPERTY School Will Accommodate All of Pupils in Western Part of City ; Old Junior High to Be Moved to New Building and Five-Year High School Will Be Established; To Cost $500,000. A new high school is to be erected by September, 1928, on the Small wood property in the western part of the city, according to the Raleigh School Board. A fund of $500,000 has been set aside from last year's school bond issue for the construc tion of the building. The school board plan was based on the present enrollment of the Junior and Senior high schools. The present enrollment of the Junior High, which houses only the seventh grade, Is 435, and there are 937 at the Hugh Morson High School. ' The enrollment of the Hugh Morson is ex pected to reach 950 within next few weeks, and according to the past rate of increase, the number will be close to 1,100 as the spring term opens. The present high school, which was built to accommodate 1,200 students, will soon be filled to its capacity, Su perintendent Srygley said. At the present rate of increase, Raleigh should have from 1,800 to 2,000 white high school students in two years. A census of the white school children will be undertaken in the near future, to determine more definitely the size of the proposed 'institution. .. ; ecutive ollices and the heating pianTT and will probably care for 800 to 1,000 Bchool children. A five-year high school will be maintained at both the present and new buildings, Superintendent Srygley said. This will do away with the Junior K.gh School. The present Junior High building having long been obsolete and in need of new equipment, will no long-' er be used as a school building. The board is anxious to move the school from its present location, which is across the street from the main fire station. The noise has seriously in terfered with class-room recitations and study. This building was crowd ed to its capacity until the present five-year building program was made possible by lust year's bond issue. Members of the school board have recently inspected several new high schools in the State, studying the types, equipment, and needs of up-to-date high schools. Some of the schools inspected were at Asheville, Hendersonville, Gastonia, Hickory, Salisbury, and High Point.
