The Irvinbllt Company of Chilit- eothe was the low bidder last night In close bidding for construction the new Chillicothe vocational- technical school to be located at Fair street and Sprlughlll road. There was only an 8 per cent spread among the eight contractors bidding for the contract, and the base offer by the Irvlnbllt company was $422,495. While all bids were above the original estimate of $412,413 by the architectural firm of Northern ft Hamlin of Kansas City, Hugh Hamlin, architect for the project, said he thought they were "pretty good bids" and pointed out that nationally it was predicted, in April, that building costs were going up. Hamlin called attention of the Board of Education to the fact that seven bidders were within 3W per cent of one another.

Hamlin said it is customary to expect a variation of as much as 15 to 20 per tent in a bidding situation. A contract Is to bo slgntd soon so that work can proceed Immediately. Irvln- bllt specified a completion time of 340 days. John Irvln, who with Jeffery Churan represented the firm at last night's bidding session, said he hoped the tlmo would be much shorter than that but that allowances wero made in case of unsuitable weather that would prevent the building from being under roof before the winter Mason sets In. Roder Nyberg, supervisor of vocational education for the Chillicothe R-2 district, said that the current vocational-technical classes would remain the same as they are now for the 1966-67 year and that the program will be expanded when the new building is occupied for 'he 1967-68 year.

The board, administration architect agreed on alternates, which would bring the total price to around $420,470. The next lowest bidder for the same Lawhon Construction Company of St. Joseph. One alternate that met favor was substituting vinyl asbestos tile for terazzo floors in the corridors. This will save some $2,100.

Board members and the architect also agreed that the shop area ought to be painted, which will add some $2,200, and that a vehicle lift should not be eliminated. However, a paint booth probably will not be included (cost around The matter of a 2-hour fire rated ceiling for the classroom area may wait on insurance rate figures to determine if the saving would make it worthwhile. The base bids as submitted last night: F. P. Gehring, Atchison, $459,600, construction time 210 days.

Glaze Construction, St. Joseph, $436,000, construction time 365 days. Herbert Booner, St. Joseph, $434,711, construction time 390 days. Irvinbile Company, $422,495, and 360 days.

Chilllcothe's First High School Building A history of Chillicothe's first high school building, erected hi 1875, appeared in an edition oi the school Gabbler and the story has been kept by Mrs.

Cecil N. Bush, 701 Montgomery street, and is reprinted here. The picture is an etching from an old atlas. The Gabbler's story: Before the year 1873 to 1874 there were no graded schools in Chillicothe. School was held on the first floor of the old Methodist church.

The faculty then consisted of only two teachers, and the whole number of pupils, about 80 in all, were obliged to stay in the recitation rooms. When Professor Gross was appointed superintendent he conceived the idea of grading the schools and also starting of high school. In 1875 the Central school building was erected. The third floor of this building was used for the high school. The change from the new building school better accommodations, and shortly afterwards a laboratory for the science- es was installed.

More teachers were added to the faculty and changes and additions were made in the course of study. The first class to be graduated from the high school was the class of 1877, which consisted of 10 members. As the school grew many changes were made. The necessity of erecting a separate building for the high school was recognized, and so a new high school building was erected, during the year 1890 to 1901, and was ready for occupancy near the beginning of the year 1901. The new the church to gave the high building contained six class rooms, a laboratory, two rooms for the library and the superintendent's office.

It was built on the south side of the block which the old Central occupied. After the removal of the high school to the new building, old Central was used entirely for-the grades. During the year 1914 an addition was made which gave it almost double its present capacity. The benefits derived from the change from the old building to the new are too numerous to mention. The high school maintained two organizations, the "Literary Society" and the "Debating also the baseball and football teams.

A manual training department was installed and the starting of the publication of a high school paper. Later a teacher's training department was added to the work of the school. From that time the school grew so rapidly in population that the high school building was quickly taxed to its capacity. Old Central had, through 50 years of constant use, fallen into decay and in 1924 it was condemned. The present junior-senior high school building was then created and in 1955 the high school was moved into it; the Central grade school was moved into the old high school Oiillteotiie, THURSDAY, JUNI ATTENDING SORORITY EVENT IN THE BAHAMAS Miss Mary Mast, president of Epsilon Rho chapter of Delta Zeta sorority, and Mrs.
