THE TRIBUNE-P HONOGRAPH PUBLISHED IN COLBY THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1972 Shop and Pool Additions Discussed at Abbotsford School Board Meeting The adoption of a 1972-73 operating budget and discussion of an addition to the industrial arts area and construction of a swimming pool topped the agenda of the annual meeting of the Abbotsford High School district Monday night. In regards to the expansion of the industrial area, Marvin Busse, school board president, said that the tentatively proposed addition calls for a building 40 by 80 feet to be located at the back end of the present shop. The new area would house the power mechanics and metal shops while the present shop would be used primarily for woods. Busse, elected chairman of Monday’s meeting, said one more teacher would be needed along with a few new pieces of equipment. Total cost of that project would be about $200,000. When it came to the discussion of the swimming pool, nobody knew exactly what type of pool would be constructed. For instance, would it be round, square, rectangular, oval or L-shaped? Would it be made of cement, aluminum or fiberglass?
As a result, the school board was authorized to hire an architect to study the cost of a shop and pool addition. A committee of persons from within the district will be chosen at the August 7 meeting of the school board. This citizenry group will help with the study.
