Consolidated Officials Are Planning
ew Building to Stop Overcrowding
By BARBARA RUBIN
Battalion Woman’s Editor
A&M Consolidated officials are
planning construction of a new
school building for 1954 to relieve
overcrowded classroom conditions.
The present building was com
pleted in 1949.
This year’s estimated 1400 stu
dents in the four schools are nearly
double 1952’s enrollment. The ele
mentary school composed of the
first six grades, the junior high
school, seventh and eighth grades,
the high school, and Lincoln School
for Negroes make up the A&M
Consolidated Schools.
Faculty Offers
The 50-member faculty offers
such subjects as English, mathe
matics, science, home economics,
industrial arts, social sciences, mu
sic, language, commerce, and Bible.
Most of the work in the high
school is college preparatory since
nearly SO percent of the students
go on to college.
All the faculty members have
college degrees, and nearly 40 per
cent hold masters degrees. Over
50 per cent attended summer
schools at some college or univer
sity this year. The faculty has an
average teaching experience of
over ten years.
