In an interview. l'rinclpul Jakob
told the Sentinel reporter that. the

"There are 500 students registers

"\\'e have been forced to comert‘
the study rooms into class rooms

"Many pupils are not permitted
to take the subjects which they de-

crowded and. we have not enough
teachers. This is especially true of
the typewriter class. I have had to
turn away children who desired to
take this course. because of lack of

“There is no question about it but
that we must have more rooms. And

only solution is a. roof garden or
