Scope Of Work
"Our taxpayers got a lot of building for the money they invested..."
The recent letter from which the above is quoted was written by the Superintendent of Schools, Harrison, N.Y., District No. 6, Mr. Louis M. Klein, who continued... "and 4 years of use of this building have proved it to be a thoroughly well-constructed, practically laid out, and a genuinely usable and functional school building which has been a real asset to our community."
The impressive educational and social results which the School Board of Harrison, N.Y. has attained with this standingly-modern functional plant is so immediately apparent that even a layman is deeply impressed.
The precision and efficiency in human relations with which this school entity functions amply justifies the first paragraph of Mr. Klein's letter, which attitude an observer would be certain is shared by the entire school staff...
"I am very proud of our new High School building which was construction 1939-40, and which was made possible by the vision of our Board of Education and the authorization of our taxpayers. Mr. Vignola, the Architect, did an excellent job in the design and layout of the building. This has been the fourth year of use of this building which from an educational point of view has been extremely functional. The upkeep of the building has been kept to a real minimum by the type of construction and the type of materials put into the building, which has been very serviceable."
