Mr. Cyrus F. Tibbals, founder of the Action Committee and a member of the Board of Education, called for the building of a new school immediately. He said that the school population was growing at the rate of two classes per year and that the schools were filled to capacity already. The Township must make provisions for its growing population immediately. At present there are 217 Mahwah students attending Ramsey High. The minimum population of 400 to 500 students to have a successful high school will be reached in four years said School Board Attorney DeYoe. A Junior-Senior High School may be the answer, he said.
