                         FLAMES DESTROY
                          HESPERIA GYM
                          
                   HESPERIA (AP) - Some 200 school
                children escaped injury Monday as
                the one-story frame gymnasium and
                kitchen building at the Hesperia
                High School was destroyed by fire.
                   Firemen said the blaze started
                in the furnace room about 9 a.m.
                as classes began for the day.
                   They said teachers ushered the
                children outside and sent them home
                as Hesperia, Newaygo, White Cloud
                and Fremont fire departments arrived
                on the scene.
                   The frame addition to the con-
                crete high school housed the gym-
                nasium and a kitchen used for the
                school's hot lunch program.
                   Damage estimates were unavailable
                immediately but no one was reported
                injured in the blaze, which firemen
                battled in temperatures which hovered
                at eight degrees above zero.
