stream down your back, this
story of the king of all vam -
pires, who lives on the blood
of fair young maidens, is rea
listically (!) presented by the

Renovation Set
Contrary to many rumors
circulating about the area,
plans have been made to take
care of the critical situation
facing our children at the
Burnsville Elementary School
when school commences in
some three weeks hence.
According to information
received by the Record from
Ed Hunter, School Superinten
dent, the architect has
been consulted and has been
making certain recommenda -
tions concerning this school.
It would seem that bythe time
school gets underway that the
lower building of Burnsville
Elementary will be undergoing
"renovation" to meet state
standards and that plans are in
the works to bring in at least
one additional mobile unit to
handle the overflow of students
"displaced" by the closing of
the upper building.
