Princeton Seaway site eyed for junior high amid school needs
The Princeton area weighs a new junior high on the former Seaway Container site now owned by the school system. Residents favor a construction project to ease split schedules, with high school as a potential popular option. Board of Education held a discussion session with Dr. Allen Lackey, while Jim Oxley was unable to attend. WVEA reps considered locating regional offices in several Mountain State areas, including Princeton. The Civil Service may place a female officer candidate on the next review list if all three initial names are rejected. Mrs. Lucius Nuckolls was moved to Peace Springs Women's Prison from Mercer County Jail. Glenwood Park plans a Sunday entertainment featuring Hillsman and Crestman Quartets at 2 p.m., with folding chairs recommended.
