Space is much | needed for a heginners’ department. | This was included in the original | plan of remodeling, but had to be| Space for adult classes | is also much to be desired. The | school is in need of an enlarged | adult department. This is some- thing to work for in the near future. | Library facilities are still cramped. | Expansion in that line and in the work of the extension divisions of the school is needed. Scouts The scout troops are in flourish- ing condition. The troop has en- rolled 32 regular scouts and 17 cul Miss Helen Pankonin heads a troop of 54 girl scouts.
