Lockwood Elementary School Bond Drive Goal [Jan. 9,1954]

Residents of school district 46 [sic] are circulating petitions for a $172,500 bond issue to build a primary school building in the Lockwood community. The building would contain six classrooms and would be located behind the present elementary building. Architect on the project is Vernon Drake of Billings. If the bond issue is approved, district officials said, construction can start this spring. Supt. Marvin Klampe said “overwhelming” increases had been experienced in the first through fourth grade enrollments at Lockwood. Also planned is a three or four room addition to the junior high building.
