The gym, completed in Sep tember, 195, lias been used for basketball and various other en tertainments as well as housing classrooms for vocational educa tion, home economics, brick lay- ng, agriculture and physical edu cation. One corner of the building de veloped cracks and it was later re vealed that the building was de clared unsafe for basketball and for any large assembly on the court level.

Local and state authorities have been negotiating for months as to the most feasible method to repair the building and contracts were recently awarded Evans and Associates, Inc., of Statesville. The county board of education and the county commissioners jointly approved the project with the financing both from local and bond monies. The project will cost $ 74,860.00, with $41,343.37 from the 1953 bond money and $33,506.63 from local sources. It is expected to take from 60 90 days to complete the job, it was stated here this week by Max Cloaninger, superintendent of the project.
