More students' parents worked for ISU than for any other employer. Nearly three-fourths of Ames High students attended a colle- giate sports competition during the year, ranging from football games to gymnastic meets. Students also attended cultural events, including plays, concerts, and exhibits. More than 80 percent used ISU facilities, such as Beyer Hall, the ISU library, and the State Gym.
