'‘The present building is over flowing and we are in danger of losing accreditation if something isn’t done,” Mr. Nelson said. The board has been aware of the “bulge” for a -number of .years, he said, and “has been studying the construction prob lem carefully and very thor oughly since last September.” - Members of the board, be sides Lohaus. are F. N. Cronin, Elgin Ray, H. L. Lindkerg, Ira H. Moss and Mrs. Loretta Hynes. An average of 25 pupils per room is recommended and de sired, Mr. Nelson stated and 35. js the absolute maximum. Walls of the new building, -designed by a Norfolk archi tectural firm, would be brick .and tile. The corridors will be glazed tile and the floors asphalt tile laid on a cement base.
