She ex pressed her appreciation for the help tendered the band and said she was extremely proud of the accom plishments of the band thus fai th Is year. Before the meeting adjourned Principal Gerald James told those present that since the present school was built in 1952, it had been hoped to add an auditorium and a band and music room. “Four classes have graduated since then,” he said, “and four more and four more will he graduated with no au ditorium unless you members of the Band Association do not stir up the powers that be.” Mr. James referred to the 50 million dollar state school bonds, of which $70,000 is earmarked for local schools. He reported that the Edenton School Trustees made j two trips to Raleigh in an effort to I have the money released for the, necessary school additions, but that! they were informed that the money must be used solely for building rHE CTTOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSO AT. OCTOBER 18, 1956. I classrooms. Mr. James advanced the idea that a modern school building should bg built-in Edenton to replace the present Elementary School which is out-of-date as a school. “And,” he said, “if the money is not available for the needed additions at the high school, then the Band Association and all parents of school children should rise up in arms and demand the school trustees to proceed with the initial steps to have the additions made with local funds. If the school trustees are not stirred up we will never have an auditorium.” Mr. James pointed out the in convenience of sitting on the un comfortable gym seats for certain school activities, the necessity for holding graduation exercises in the Elementary School auditorium and the confusion caused in school by not having adequate facilities for a band and music room. He also pointed out that the $350,000 used to build the present school was local money. The challenge was taken up by the Band Association and a motion was made and passed to have a committee appear before the school trustees to present the matter and if necessary call a mass meeting of Edenton citizens in order to get some action toward completing the school building as it was originally intended.
