Since the spring of 1938, with the
aid ot the two WPA grants, referred
to above we have done the follow
ing work on our school property:
1 J ,ft “ aerson HiKh School.
f - We:have enclosed the athletic
field with a wire fence six feet high.
P jj ts ,/ or said fen ce are iron pipe
embedded in concrete.
2. An iron back stop has been
erected on the field for baseball
diamond and we have erected bleach
ers lor our athletic field 160 feet
long, eight tiers high, with a seating
capacity of about 500. The total capi
tal outlay cost for these improve
ments is estimated at a cost of $6,000.
II same had been done by contract,
HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH-FRIDAY, APRIL 21,1939
as same - Was done by WPA labor the
cost to the, board of trustees is esti
mated at SSIOO.
3. The school yard has been levell
ed and sowed in permanent grass
and one walk way laid at a cost of
$250.
During the year we have also pur
chased sixty uniforms for the band
at a cost of $870.00. We owe at pres
ent only S2O for the uniforms and
we have made arrangements to pay
for the balance due on said uniforms,
the money was raised by public sub
scriptions. We have one of the best
bands in the State under the super
vision of Mr. A. T. Hearne.
All the equipment for the high
school has been pa id. for and we have
purchased during the year one cool
ing unit, at a cost of $l9B for the
Domestic Science Department, and
60 chairs for the band and have ex
pended about $240 for books for our
library.
The moving picture machine was
purchased for the school and install
ed one year ago. The balance due on
the machine is $l5O. The P.-T. A.
has I, made arrangements to pay this
$l5O during the ensuing school term.
The Board of Trustees donated $109.-
50 toward the cost of the machine.
Junior High School.
The grounds at this school' have
been graded and a wire fence erect
ed around the rear of the grounds.
One basketball court has been laid
out and enclosed by a rock wall and
the necessary fixtures purchased and
erected including one iron and wire
backstop, and shrubbery has been
pruned and reset and worked bv
WPA.
Central School.
The roof has been painted and the
yard enclosed.
The roofs have been repaired and
put in good condition at the follow
ing schools:
North Henderson.
Clarke Street.
West End.
The buildings have been sprayed
to exterminate termites at the fol
lowing schools: Clark street and
Junior High.
Our buildings are in good repair
and in a clean and sanitary condi
tion. The last Grand Jury stated,
“All buildings and school premises in
the Henderson City Schools are in a
clean and sanitary condition and
well kept.
Cafeterias.
New cafeterias have been installed
and equipped at the following'
schools:
Central.
Clark Street.
Junior High.
We now have cafeterias at all
schools except West End. We are
giving monthly about 1080 free
lunches. These cafeterias have been
well equipped with cooking utensils,
stoves, tables, benches and sinks.
The WPA has furnished workers to
prepare and serve the food. The total
cost for the three cafeterias was
about $450.00.
The project on which the WPA
is now working will run until the
$35,000 granted for the project is ex
pended. The grounds at West End,
South Henderson, Central and Hen
derson Negro graded school will be
graded and play grounds provided
for games, and physical education.
The WPA is now grading a standard
athletic field for the Henderson
Negro high school.
As soon as funds are available, I
recommend that the shrubbery nam
ed by our landscape gardener in his
plans be planted on the Henderson
high school grounds. We have the
drainage of the landscape gardener
on file, which gives in detail how the
shrubbery should be planted.
