Magnolia Asks for New
School Auditorium, Granted
More than 100 patrons and friends of Magnolia school went to
Kenansville Monday afternoon and met with the County Board of Education and
Commissioners, and through LH. Fussell, principal and spokesman, made a strong
plea for a new school auditorium to seat 700. They are rejoicing over the
promise of the required amount of Federal money to build it and the architect
will soon have plans completed for work to begin.
This is one of the greatest needs in any school in the
County. We have 15 teachers and only 13 class rooms. The two small dressing
rooms and Primary Library are being used for class rooms. The old auditorium
will be converted into classrooms and library. Magnolia people and patrons of
the school already want to “shout loud appreciation” to the Board of Education
and Commissioners.
