THE NEW LETHBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL There are a few facts about the prcposed new $700,000 High School.? Citizens of Leth­ bridge will vote on, on Feb. 3rd. 1. The building will be 242ft. by 282 ft. 2. It will have 14 classrooms and 6 self-contained shops. 3. The Motor Mechanics Shop and the Farm Machinery Shop will be housed in 45 ft x 51 ft. rooms. 4. The 12 ft. wide halls will be lined with steel lockers 6' x 1-g- ft. 5. The Gymnasium will: (a). Have a 56’ x 90' playing court. (b). Have collapsible steel bleachers which will fold against the wall when not in use. (Estimated life 25 to 30 yrs.I (c) . A seating capacity of 1000. (d) . ^e self-contained, i.e. entirely separate from the school for ball-games, etc. Mr. Kyle, principal of the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, deplores their present small gym (40'x60'xl4') and said that original plans called for a larger court but economy measures cut down the size of the gym (just what happened in Magrath). He is convinced that B. Bali-iEs an asset to a school and had it re-introduced in the Collegiate (on a larger scale) this year. Mr. Kyle believes that receipts from the new gym will provide ■ funds to completely equip the large stage which will be in their new building. The gym will be large enough to have 2 or 3 cross courts for basketball, or be used for several gym classes at one time. Basketball now is the largest drawing sport of all. If Lethbridge gets their new High School (and public opinion favors it) and the huge new gym in their Civic Centre (which they will have for sure) we may as well hang up our suits here in Magrath unless we get a larger playing court. If our present Gymnasium was extended 80 ft. to the west we could have a 48' x 85’ playing court with a seating capacity of 1000.
