iieet teaching and learning needs. They meet this acid

C. W. Roberts, junior high school teacher:
. . when the idea of a windowless school was first
^resented to the planning committee I was amazed
md found myself expressing opposition, but after a
ew weeks as a teacher in the windowless school I
cry definitely became aware of the many advantages
o be found in a school of this type— minimum dust,
10 outside noises and distractions, the ultimate in body
omfort and the elimination of light and temperature
iroblems. All in all, these advantages added up to the
)est classroom situation a teacher could desire."
Mrs. Jack Trice (a parent), Hobbs, New Mexico:
. . I am happy to report that after approximately
me and one-half years of occupancy we are more than
atisfied with the new unit. The reactions are quite
avorable to it. Students seem to be quite happy and
show no outward effect of so-called 'claustrophobia.' The savings in original construction made possible a somewhat larger and certainly more efficient plan."
Miss Jackie Wilson, junior high school student: "... I felt I would never become accustomed to being 'caged in' but now that I'm here I am dehghted with the building and its facilities. For one thing we can concentrate better because there is nothing to distract us. I pay closer attention, therefore I do better work. I speak for the entire student body when I say that we feel indeed fortimate to be attending Highland Junior High School, a school with modern methods and ideas."

The windowless schools in this area are a result of the joint design efforts of the school faculty, the school administration, the school boards, the commu
'he Del Norte School in Roswell, also pictured above. Use of four walls is another 'exclusive' of windowless rooms. Dust, soot are ?duced considerably in buildings of this kind.
