A delegation from Emmitsburg urged the Board of Education to add classrooms at the local high school to provide a fuller curriculum.

Sensenbaugh noted current enrollments are too small for new courses, while stressing a single stronger school serves the county best. The discussion also covered alternate sites and a survey of local interest to study other subjects.
