Progress on the new Wawasee high school is further along than most people realize. The school board will advertise for bids yet this month and receive bids by March at the latest. Contracts should be let shortly after that, and construction oa the new school should begin in early spring. Lakeland students should enter classes in September. 1968. Specifications are fairly complete, allowing for several alternates. Some things the new school will include are a superintendent’s office set apart from the main high school building; a large cafeteria; an auditorium to seat about 1,000; a gymnasium to seat 3,400; and a regulation size indoor swimming pool; a large, regulation, lighted football field. The swimming pool will be located west of the gym and upper deck gym seats win have a reverse fold so as to form an observation area on the deck area overlooking the swimming pool. The 3,400-seat gym should allow for a 10 to 20 year growth, the board estimates. It is somewhere between the size of the Warsaw gym <2,800' and the Goshen gym (4.400). The new Wawasee high school basketball team will be playing larger schools, thus attracting larger crowds. The new school should cost about $2.3 million dollars, fully equipped slightly in excess of $3 million. These are preliminary engineering estimates. Actual costs will be determined by competitive bidding. By using a private holding company, the school board plans to pay off the indebtedness of the new school in a 15-year period, using the present SI.OO per SIOO taxable valuation cumulative building fund. From 76 to 78 cents of the SI.OO go toward retiring the construction cost indebtedness, with the remaining portion of the SI.OO going toward other costs involved. The interest rate on the indebtedness will exceed four per cent slightly. It sounds like a big package, and it is. But the Lakeland area will be competing with the best of them when this plan becomes operational. 9 • •
