Resolutions of sympathy and condol ence on the death of Director McGovern were adopted. Director Halton brought the attention of the Board to the dan i'l'ous condition of the walls of the north Wing of the high school building. The "'vails are cracked from the foundation wail to the roof, and bulge badly. The crack is rapidly growing wider. Either the wing must be torn down and rebuilt or a new building erected.

Since the present structure is old and in a poor condition, since the cost of relmildin; the old wing would go far toward pay ing for a new structure, and since more school rooms are needed, it was considered to be the wiser plan to take steps toward a new and modern building.
