A Carey Chamber of Commerce message presents ten reasons to support a bond issue for a new high school. The list cites conditions of the East Building, health and education of children, rapid action, and Carey’s educational standing relative to other towns, urging citizens to back the project for future prosperity.
Local citizens urge a modern high school to replace the East Building. They cite no laboratories, poor lighting and ventilation, heating problems, unsanitary toilets, crowded assembly rooms, and limited courses. The plan, backed by the Board of Education, aims to offer stronger manual, domestic, business, agricultural, and science labs with a reference library and athletic facilities.
The Board of Education asks citizens to authorize $155 000 in bonds to fund a new modern high school. Bonds run at least 20 years and many beneficiaries will help pay. Nearby towns issue larger bonds, but this amount matches local needs.
The building by McLaughlin and Hulskens of Lima is a two story structure with a ground level basement housing heating ventilation and labs for physics chemistry and agriculture. The first floor includes recitation rooms an auditorium that doubles as a gym with a stage dressing rooms and educational picture equipment. The second floor holds a study hall and additional recitation rooms. It is designed to be fireproof and expandable without harming its appearance.
Education advocates urge Cavey residents to back the bond to relieve crowded schools and fund modern facilities. They argue children deserve the best training to become capable leaders and good citizens, with support tied to church and community duty.
