Albemarle, Sept. 4—Albemarle’s new high school building is finished and when school opens next Monday morning, September 7th, will be ready to receive the more than 300 high school students who are expected to be present at that time. The building is one of the most beautiful structures of this city and is modern in every particular. It is three stories high and is built of the very best material. The board of school commissioners who conceived, planned and financed the proposition is composed of R.L. Smith, A.P. Harris, A.L. Patterson, M.A. Boger, H.L. Horton and W.L. Mann. There are 10 class rooms, an auditorium with a seating capacity of 750, a science laboratory splendidly equipped with science lecture room, a gymnasium which includes a basketball court, a library, a manual training room, domestic arts and domestic science rooms, cafeteria, boys and girls shower bathrooms, first aid room, teachers’ rest room and principal’s office.
The completion of this building gives Albemarle six splendid buildings which include the Wiscasset-Efird school buildings and the girls’ institute. All these schools are expected to have a total of more than 2,000 students this year with a combined teaching force of about 75 teachers.
M.S. Beam is superintendent and James P. Sifford principal of the high school.
