March 28, 1921 – NO HIGH SCHOOL IN SIGHT
Though Friday’s school board meeting lasted until midnight they were no nearer an agreement on any plan for the future than when it started. The bond market is off again and the board sees no possibility of putting up a high school building this year. There may yet be a favorable change in the bond market and a drop in building materials may be such as to give encouragement to the board in a month or two, but prospects now are that no building will be put up for another year.
