Description

The Banneker school building will begin the fall semester in much better condition than in many years. School Superintendent R. G. Jones said Tuesday that the building has been repainted inside and out, a new drinking fountain has been installed and the structure has been completely rewired for lighting purposes. A new heating unit, he said, was installed last year. Mrs. Lucille Douglass will continue to teach at the school.
