Marcellus Memories – January 30, 1964

Fire Marshall Sets Gym Seating Capacity: The Marcelllus board of education received a bit of shocking news during their regular meeting held Tuesday evening, January 21, when Fire Chief Ken Sisson informed board members of an order from the fire marshal’s office relative to the overcrowding of the gymnasium at basketball games and other school functions. In effect the order informed the board that the fire marshal would inspect the facility and set a maximum number of people that can be admitted to any function held in the gym. It further stated that the school authorities were responsible to see that no one either stands or sits near or in front of any exit from the room.

The action comes as the result of a formal complaint filed with the fire marshal’s office following the Constantine-Marcellus basketball game, and according to the directive, Marcellus was just one of several schools against which this action was being taken. 

Word was received by school officials this week that the fire marshal had set the maximum attendance figure for Marcellus at 500.

This means, in effect, that after 500 tickets have been sold for any function to be held in the gymnasium, no more people can be admitted.
