School Notes From The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., Sept. 25, 1922

Barnesville’s New High School Building Is Well Planned. . . It Will Soon be Finished and Is One of Best—School Will Open October 2

Barnesville, Sept. 23—The new high school building at Barnesville will soon be completed. It will have nine class rooms, a music room, principal’s room, library and an auditorium.

This is one of the best-planned new high school buildings in this section of the country. The building will be heated by steam, the lighting is good, the seats are individual, the auditorium seats are folding. Each teacher will have a large desk with drawers. The building is located in a quiet, well-drained plot consisting of six acres of land.

School is expected to open October 2. The teachers will live at the dormitory. School books can be bought at the R.R. Barnes store.

The high school enrollment will be about 50 and the music department will be about 25.

Mrs. Morton arrived last week.
