NEW ST. JOSEPH'S SCHOOL OPENS N
NEW LOCATION IN COLUMBUS' SUBURB
COLUMBUS, Ga.—A new era ,
for the Catholic school children of j
Columbus began with the begin- j
ning of the 1952-53 school year j
when classes were moved from the
over-crowded, antebellum, St.
Joseph’s School building, located
on Box Road, just off the Macon
Road, beyond the city limits, in
Edgewood.
Picturesquely situated on an
eleven-acre tract, the school’s
beauty and its efficiency have
brought praise not only from the
Sisters of Mercy, who teach at the
school, hut also from the pupils
and their parents, as well as the
general public, including officials
of the Muscogee County public

The s bool itself is the result of
several /ears’ planning by Father
Herman Deimel, pastor of the
Church Of the Holy Family, mem
bers of the parish, and the Sisters.
The building, plans for which were
drawn bjl John R. Edwards, At
lanta architect and engineer, is

ly fire-resfttant, and presents all
the proven And latest developments
in school design. It has ten large
classrooms, A fully equipped kin
dergarten, a cafeteria, an all-pur
pose auditorium, a clinic and a
chapel. \
In the chape?, the altar is on
black Imeerial marbl^i and the
furnishings are Vhite oak with
light stain. A feature of the chapel
is that it is separated from the
auditorium by «r24?£oot leather-
covered folding doorXso that the
chapel may be kept . accessible,
but secluded, during the-week, and
on Sundays, with the (Thor open,
will provide an enlarged, chapel
where a congregation of 3^0 per
sons can attend Mass.
The kitchen is fully equipped
and has strainless steel fixtures.
All cooking is done electrically.
The building is heated by an\ef-
ficient gas-oil conversion boiter,
through convectors, and in the
auditorium area by forced wa
air. A complete intercommunicA-
tion and public address system ha!
been installed. The kindergarte
and several other classrooms hav
adjacent restrooms. All classrooms'
have acoustic tile ceiling. The en
tire school is painted in a variety
of pleasing colors, contrary to the
usual drab monotoes of school'
buildings.
The main corridor, nearly 40 feet
long, is coverel with a continuous
skylight, assuring bilateral light
in the classrooms from high win
dows facing the hall as well as
providing a cheerful astmosphere
for the hall itself. Architectural
projected windows which extend to
the ceiling of each classroom main
tain an effective lighting level
and given proper ventilation. Ar-
ticial lighting is provided through
flourescent luminaries in con
tinuous rows in the classrooms.
Constructed on reinforced con
crete footings, thq building has a
continous reinforced concrete slab
floor, covered with asphalt tile.
The exterior walls are ten inches
thick, of cavity brick construction,

ceeds 460, mol* than double the
enrollment that could be accom-
modted last yebr at the old

ment would exceed the designed

additional classrooms were added
t othe plans. Even with, the addi
tional rooms, the school has now
reached capacity and Scores of
prospective students have had to
be turned away.
Transportaion has been arranged
through two bus systems to bring
children form all parts of the city
