LAST FOR ANN ARBOR? Tappan Junior High School is the most recent multi-story school to be built in Ann Arbor. Completed in 1950, it has three floors. Modern trends in school architecture suggest Tappan may have been the last multi-story school in the city.

It's lunch time in Tappan Junior High's cafeteria and informality reigns. Because of the large enrollment, Tappan has three 35-minute lunch periods with pupils divided into shifts.

ALMOST A BASKET: The expressions on these Tappan Junior High students' faces indicate that the girl in the center almost shot a basket. The basketball booth was one of many games in Tappan's benefit carnival last night at the school. The net (at right), stretching down to the contestant, was placed so the basketball would roll back to the "shooter" for a return try. Proceeds of the penny carnival and refreshment and bake sale will be used to help buy a movie camera and bleachers for the school. Many pupils and parents attending the party came from as far as Hamburg.

PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE: These are just some of the nearly 1,800 people - students, parents and teachers of Tappan Junior High School - who crowded into the school last night for a benefit carnival. As school interest grew in the cooperative event, the committee realized it would have to be limited to Tappan people only. Perhaps some of the interest came from pre-war prizes for games and refreshments - nothing inside the building cost more than a nickel.

WALKWAY FOR STUDENTS: This walkway from Adare Circle to Washtenaw Ave. was ordered by the City Council as an aid to students attending Tappan Junior High School and St. Francis School. The walk touches Washtenaw at a level point in the roadway east of Tappan. The purpose of the walk and another one that is planned for the north side of Washtenaw from Bedford-Sheridan to Tuomy Rd. is to provide safer walking areas and a safer crossing point on Washtenaw for students.
