Principal Kierstead resigns Friday, April 15, 1966 Oneonta Star 9 Laurens school hopes to build new gymnasium, two rooms LAURENS If planners in the State Education Department approve and voters of tho Laurens School District provide the financing in a referendum, Laurens will not only have a new gymnasium out will be able to provide classroom space for the 50 First and Sec- otid Graders now being instructed at the Mount Vision, school. But Laurens Supervising Principal Reginald Kierslead won't be here to see it. He lias resigned to take over as Supervising Principal at Minisink Valley Central School near Mid- dlelown, effective July 31. His resignation was announced Thursday by a President Edwin Dorr who said Kierstead will complete the school year at Laurens before leaving for Orange County. Yesterday Kierslead revealed that the Board of Education has engaged Richfield Springs architect Myron A.

The new building, Kierstead said, will connect to the present corridor of the Laurens school to allow access first to the classrooms and then to the gymnasium, Once it is completed the present gymnasium will tie converted into a cafetorium.

While Laurens has wanted a new gymnasium for years, it has been blocked because state law has "curtailed" such ideas because of planning at state levels aimed at creating districts and schools of maximum efficiency. In an article published In school's weekly newspaper, Kierstead noted that the "law has been "The Board has visited Albany," he explained, "and the State Department has found that a gymnasium is possible for us Yesterday Kierstead explained that the two grades have been attending classes at the Mount Vision school for about five years or since 1961, the year Kierstead came to Laurens from a post as Superinten. dent of Schools in the Addison Rutland School District in Vermont. Concerning the Mount Vision school, the supervising principal explained that it was an "odd circumstance" but that ho understood the Mount Vision building to have been one of the first ever designed by Mr.

Jordan. If plans for the new LaUr- ens gym go through, he explain- Area obituaries Raymond Dalrymple LAURENS Raymond Dalrymple, 58, of Bradenton, died April 5 after an illness of four months. Funeral services were held in Bradenton, and burial was in Skyway Memorial a there. The Rev. Gerald K.
