Palmer, Alaska
Dear Editor:
If any of your readers missed
your editorial “What Now” in
the November 8th issue of this
paper, they missed an enlight
ening article about the school
bond proposal, well worth
reading.
A few suggestions for plan
ning future school improve
ments are as follows:
Situate gymnasium or com
binations therewith approxi
mately 200 to 300 feet from the
school. This would allow plenty
of parking area for public gath
erings, eliminate the necessity
of wandering in the school halls
looking and asking for the gym
or auditorium, avoid the possi
bility of disturbing the students
at work, etc,, etc.
Dressing rooms, storage, etc.
be placed at either end or both
ends of gym thus reducing or
iginal cost and eliminating
much hallway maintenance.
Plans could allow for attaching
or future attachment of natat
arium at the end of the gym
to allow for common use of cer
tain facilities.
The high school planned for
:lassrooms and necessary at
tendant facilities could allow
'or considerable future expan
sion. Elimination of so many
jnmonitorect hallways etc.
should enhance student control.
Sincerely
Leonard E. Moffitt
