May 15, 1949, in The Star: Another advertisement is touting the value and comfort of air conditioning in a downtown Anniston store. In this case it’s Woodruff-Glenn, which is proclaimed as “Anniston’s Only Air Conditioned Men’s Store.” As in the recent case of Wikle Drug Store, the cooling system is a Chrysler Air-Temp, the installer is Interstate Roofing. Also this date: Proposed plans for a junior high school in Anniston, to be built on the grounds of the former Alabama Military Institute, have been drawn by a Montgomery architectural firm, and bids will be solicited after the Anniston school board approves the design and final specifications. Junior high students at present go to class on the Anniston High School campus, making that building excessively crowded, even with the seventh-graders meeting in their own separate structure. The new building will contain approximately 36 classrooms, several auxiliary rooms, such as for art and shop, and will generally accommodate 1,200 students. It’s hoped that the school will open in the fall of 1950. [Missed it by a year — it opened in October 1951. A drawing of the proposed school appears on Page 1.]
