One Room School Moves To Senior High
POINT PLEASANT The one room school building formerly known as Midway in Robinson District was moved onto Senior High School grounds to serve as a practice room for the band. Supt. Robert H. Ferguson said efforts to obtain more one room buildings for Leon and West Columbia schools are proceeding, while current facilities are unsafe. Districts are expanding use of one room schools until new buildings can be funded. A Mt. Olive overcrowding solution involved moving an abandoned building onto the lot and adding a second teacher. North Point Pleasant third grade overcrowding is eased by splitting 64 pupils between two teachers, Irene Brooks and Irene Sayre. Other one room schools now have teachers, with White Pine and Mt. Rose recently opened under Rev. C. G. Billups and Charles Adkins respectively.
