Seats In New GymnasiB
Bethel High will open its new
gymnasium on December 10 against
the Hendersouville Bearcats, it has
been announced by C. C". I'oindex
ter. principal of the Bethel Dis
trict schools.
An outstanding feature of the
new structure will be "foldaway" ;
seats to accommodate l.OOl) specta
tors. The purchase cost of $10,000
will be borne entlrelv by the
Bethel District school.
To finance the installation of this
. the WTHS reserves saw- a lot
of service in the hoys game and
performed creditably . , . the Moun
taiuettis' second line of defense,
however, lacks experience although
the spirit is not lacking.
