Joseph Estabrook School: Historic Structure Report Plan, Room Use and Changes Over Time 41 <br />Room 8, the Lecture Hall <br />Ethel Bears, Principal of the Franklin School envisioned the use of Room 8 thus: "The large <br />room with furniture arranged as theater in the round accommodates large group lessons where <br />dramatizations, demonstrations, audio - visual media and like are used to introduce concepts or <br />make generalizations."' The lecture hall, fondly remembered by early students, was indeed the <br />site of performances and audiovisual presentations as well as teaching large groups of children. <br />There were tiered platforms on three sides of the room. These were originally fitted with long <br />tables and chairs fixed in place. At some point, perhaps in the 1990s, the lecture hall was divided <br />into a music room and an art room. <br />Dick Barnes leading a class in the lecture hall, early 1960s. <br />Photograph courtesy of Dick Barnes. <br />1 Ethel Bears, "Team Teaching at the Franklin School," June 1969, 8. Typescript in the Special Collections, Cary <br />Memorial Library. <br />
