THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 7, 1919.
$ew High School Is to Be
Troup of Connected Buildings
dministration Offices, Gymnasiums, Classrooms,
Mechanical Departments, Will Have Separate
; Quarters, but All Be Joined Together Stadium
"; and Athletic Fields Included in Plans.
The Technical and Commercial
Igh school will occupy a site 318
', wide and 1.295.28 feet long, ex
nding from Thirtieth. to Thirty
ird street and between Burt and
timing. The east half of the prop-
ty is reserved tor a stadium and
hletic field.
If the building is built in accord
tce with the tentative preliminary
ans submitted by the Clarke archi
cU and approved by the Board of
education at its meeting last Mon-
liy night, the school will consist of
Igroup of connected buildings, eacu
lit of which will house a separate
ranch of the school. The princi
h1 facade will be toward the east,
Icing the athletic field, and the
iher main entrance will be at the
est end, facing Thirty-third street.
1 Jt is thought that the connection
f the buildings will be decidedly
Ivantageous for administration
krposes and to avoid exposure of
ie pupils in going from class to
iss in inclement weather.
It is also believed that the group
rangement provides a , maximum
light and air and natural ventila-
pn, and permits the location of the
prtions of the building devoted to
jtruction upon the center part of
ie lot remote from the noises and
jst of the streets.
I . No Interior Courts.
I The separation into distinct units
'so makes it possible to isolate
w one for use independent of the
;it of the school, and permits its
Mployment at times when the rest
f the school plant may be closed.

jtween the buildings are not wast

on and exercise purp' ses, by plac
j volley ball, basket ball and ten
I courts in them.
IThe eastern group consists of
fee buildings. An administration

worn by women in the mountains i f
California.

Northwestern depot a policeman
took one glance and began walking
after Lenora. She thought he was ;
trying to flirt with her. But when
he took her to the Dcsplaines street

not flirting. ,
After she assured Captain Danner
she was not trying to impersonate
a man, he released her and she
promised to take the next train to ;
Kenilworth.
She told Captain Danner many
women in California wear similar
suits and that it is nothing more
than a walking suit. '
