IB. Open House to Note Opening of Education Building Public Invited To St. Peter's Church School An open house, belueen 2 and 4 p.m "ill mark the compleliun and formal opening today ol St. Peter's procathedral education building, located at the corner of rbcer and Fuller. Members of the Vestry have invited anyone interested' in seeing the building to attend the open house.

Plans to expand the church school facilities first began in 1956 when the Vestry decided to have plans drawn tor an addition to the northeast wing of the church. This wing was to have 7,500 square feet of floor space and was to conform to the present architecture of the church. A design for the new addition was approved by the Vestry and submitted at a parish meeting in January 1957. The cost was estimated at SI60.000. In March 3957, the Wells organization completed a fund raising campaign during which, Oiey received pledges totaling $117,000.

However, the Vestry decided that this amount would shrink he-fore it could he collected and, therefore, a building costing would be out of the question. The problem was salved in April 1957 when the church bought the Berge property directly east of the procathedral. By locating the srhool on this property, it wouad not have to conform to the architecture of the church and it was felt that both the cost of the property and construction of the building would be less than 5117,000. Plans were drawn and the school was builti at a cost Of 593,274. The new building faces on Placer street on a lot which is approximately 70 feet wide and 130 feet long.

It is fire-proof and is constructed of reinforced concrete with a brick veneer. The two story structure measures 50 by 70 feet and is designed so that another floor can be added when the need arises. 7,000 square feet of classroom space are contained within the building. By using folding doors, the top floor can be sectioned off into 14 classrooms. There is a large, separate room for a nursery and an office for the church school superintendent.

The large main area on this floor can be used for big gatherings or can be converted to three separate rooms by means of large metal foldrng doors. The front of the building is decorated with a large copper figure of a youth holding an atomic symbol in one hand while reaching upward toward a cross. It was designed and constructed by Jack Weaver of the Montana Stale Historical museum. Landscaping will include sloping from the front door of the school to the street Plans are being made for. a parking area between the church and school with, space for approximately 30 cars.

Classes in the new education building got under way last month and, according to a report from the Vestry, both teachers and students are well pleased with their new quarters. Members of the church Vestry are the Very Rev. Charles A. Wilson, Clarence Shively, senior warden; John Thompson, junior warden; Dr. Thomas Hawkins.
