CENTRAL HAS 1048 ON ROLL; 600 IS ACTUAL CAPACITY Almost Twice as Many Stu dents as Building Is Built to Hold CROWDED INTO ROOMS Question of Panic in Case of Fire Causes Grave Concern Stroll through the Central high vchool halls and recitation rooms most any time, Mr. Citizen-Taxpayer, if you would obtain some real inside infor mation as to whether or not Harris burp: should provide some immediate relief for the really uncomfortable congestion of student accommodations. To date the total Central high school enrollment is 1,048; the building has a capacity for caring comfortably for about 600. That the big student body must be divided into two groups, one to study during the morning session, the other to recite during the afternoon session, is pretty generally known to Harris burg folks. Just how the great body of pupils are crowded into the rooms, however, probably isn't so well known. T'nder present conditions it is not only impossible to hold a ma.ss meet ing of Central boys and girls, but chapel sessions for the entire school are an impossibility; the great assem bly room has long since been cut into two portions and the partitioned sec tion is subdivided into a couple of recitation rooms. How Tlicy Struggle Through Furthermore, faculty meetings with everybody present are an impossibility except once in about six weeks or two months. Professor H. G. Dibble, the principal, tries to overcome this diffi culty by holding departmental gather ings. laboratories are used for reci tation and study rooms; it is not un common for an algebra class to try to work out its problems amid the retorts and appliances of the chemical "lab"; the library has long since been turned into a recitation room and study hail; every room, every period of the day.
