Christian school to add gymna.sitim At a recently held meeting of the Clinton and District Christian School Society, the membership present voted in favor of the addition of a gymnasium to the school. The con- struction of this facility will be of great benefit to the staff and students in their physical education program and will also be available in the evenings for various activities. The project will cost approximately $155,000. Last year during a fund raising drive, $62,000 was collected, and this year to date, another $40,000 has been pledged. It is cer- tainly wonderful to see so much support and en- thusiasm for the gym- nasium.
