Western Local School bond issue urged by principal
POMEROY Orin Smith Western Local School District principal urged citizens to vote for the upcoming bond next Tuesday. Proceeds would add ten classrooms and convert the gym into a multipurpose room, with restrooms, a library, kitchen and storage. The old condemned four room building would force district pupils to be sent elsewhere. The plan includes a new high school gym with a stage and storage, to support physical education. A century ago Athens hosted the circus, with a long account of the Sells and Brown era, delays at bridges, wagons from Pomeroy and Nelsonville, and memories of students and residents witnessing performances.
