A contract for the construction was sig ned with General Contracter C. L. Andrews of Bryan in a school board meeting early last week. The contract is for the erection of a senior high school building and a negro school building at a total cost of around $94,000, Supt. A. M. Whitis said. About $75,000 of the total will go for the high school building, and approximate ly $20,000 for the negro school. The buildings should be complet ed in six months, in time for the opening of school in September. Foundations for the senior high school building were lined out last Tuesday. When completed, the buildings will be equipped with new furni ture. Cost of the furniture is not included in the construction esti mates. R. G'. Schneider of Houston is architect for the two buildings. The high school building will be brick veneer finish, with an interior finish of wood panel wainscot, and sheet rock. Floors will be oak, except for the rest rooms, which will have tile floor ing. The negro school will be a frame building with asbestos siding. Sheet rock, wood panel, and wains cot will be used in the interior. The contract was the major con cern of the school board at its meeting, but plans were made for election of school board members on April 2.

North Gate - HAMILTON - (Continued from Page 1) words in teaching and he makes a course in business cycles a com prehensive study of everything from a history of economic theory to a daily quotation of how Ameri can Radiator common stock is do ing on the New York Stock Ex change. Although it might seem far from the world of correlations and quotations, Dr. Hamilton makes a hobby of nature study. He enjoys hiking and likes to get away from standard deviations to enjoy the great outdoors. He also reads many literary works in keeping with his bachelor’s degree in English. He likes the writings of contemporary American authors. Dr. Hamilton has beeiv asso ciated with students and colleges all over the United States and in some foreign countries, and ex presses the belief that many A &M students rank with the best anywhere in scholastic ability. The school spirit, he says, has no equal. His biggest ambition for the school is to see the in corporation of the honor system with the students taking the ini tiative in making it work. The little man with the um brella (when the sky looks like rain) drives a pre-war, well-greas ed Studebaker listed by Consum er’s Reseai’ch as the best base-year buy for the money. He dabbles in the stock market, using a formu la of his own innovation. American Radiator was down again today.
