17 year old Susan Tuck, a Farmingdale High School senior, is pic­tured
being congratulated by Dr. R. C, Burau, High School principal,
for having placed third in a national essay contest which entitles her
to a $ 500 scholarship to the college of her choice. Susan, who is

The Main Street School which has been the subject
of much controversy and many surveys, will now come
under close scrutiny by The Farmingdale Council of
PT. A's, when an inspection tour is made this Saturday,
October 27th at 4 p. m.
The South Wing, which was built in 1911, and which
has undergone numerous repairs during recent years,
was closed last October as a safety precaution by the
Board of Education following a survey by the Engineer­ing
firm of Burns and Roe.
The Board of Education is studying several alterna­tive
plans on the problem of what to do with the Main
Street school building.
The Citizens Advisory Committee, appointed by the
Board of Education of District # 22 last March to
evaluate the District's housing needs, submitted its
report at a joint meeting on September 4th and
recommended a large sc^ le renovation program for
the middle: and north wir. gs of Main Street srfcool,
pending a favorable engineering survey, and that the
south wing of Main Street be demolished. " The matter
of state aid played an important role in our decision'',
according to William Reidemann, Chairman of the CAC
Sub- committee on Housing. " The State has a set
formula for the distribution of aid for construction.
The amount for renovation is far less than for new
construction. This was very important in arriving
at our decision on the south wing of the Main Street
School."
A minority opinion report by Theodore Marks was
also submitted to the Board which recommended
repair and modernization of the Main Street School
building, instead.
The Board of Education has also asked the architec­tural
firm of Frederick Wiedersum Associates to
make a study.
According to the PTA announcement, " Thedecision
will involve every taxpayer and the safety of all the
children attending the Main St. School. In the interest
of an equitable environment and education for all the
children of the district, the P. T. A. Council urges all
residents of School District 22 to attend this inspec­tion
tour. Mr. Harold Switts, Principal of Main Street
School will answer any questions about the building
that may be asked. " It will benefit everyone to hear
this information and see this building. In the final
analysis the responsibility and decision will be the
taxpayers of School District 22," according to the
PTA announcement.
