Study Committee Named For Mt. Anthony Growth
The Mt Anthony Union High School board appointed a study committee to determine future building needs. Superintendent Kelley was tasked to obtain expansion plans by architect Ben Thompson. Enrollment figures show 1 878 students in grades 7 12 as of Sept 20 and 1300 in grades 9 12, with 54 new students in grades 11 12 and parochial entrants driving gains. The building trades class seeks land for a house project, considering sites in the Bennington desert area and Morgan Street Extension but travel time would cut construction time. The board approved a $31 000 state aid application and allocated 1178 2 to the Mt Anthony teacher travel fund. 48 students attend religious instruction at the Ecumenical Center via BREF with no class disruption. A Mt Anthony Educational and Cultural Society was formed to foster foreign exposure and Innsbruck ski trips.
