Congested Condition of System, With 72 New Seats Being Added, Prompts Haste Toward Start
The Las Vegas school board will have an opportunity to look over the completed plans for the new high school building to be constructed here this winter tomorrow, when George A. Ferris of Reno, architect who is formulating the plans, arrives here with them, if present plans materialize as scheduled.
The crowded condition of the school system, with the prospect of a much more congested condition with students continuing to enroll and many more families expected to come to town with the starting of actual work on Boulder Dam preliminary work, makes earliest possible construction of the high school imperative.
Installation of 72 new seats, 24 in the high school and 48 in the grammar school building, is being pushed, with Ray Shaw in charge of the work.
Several substitute teachers have been employed regularly since the opening of school. Mrs. Lloyd Ullom has taken over the fourth grade class from which Mrs. Hemphill was shifted to a first grade class. Mrs. Hemphill is also a substitute teacher.
