HELPING TO MOVE SUPPLIES from the old building. Benny Preston carries literature books to the new Senior High. Many teachers used the last few days of school to pack their equipment either to be stored at Frost or to be moved to another teaching station. Plans set in motion First they moved two grades out. Then they stuffed four into where the two had been. Modules, expected during the sum- mer, didn’t arrive until late October, and four math classes temporarily met in the old building. Teachers coped with students in the field house, in the cafeteria, and in Mr. Wade Morral’s “tun- nel.” When Cindy McFarland led the pledge of allegiance on the first day of school, it was instant replay — three times. No one knew for sure if the P.A. was car- rying into the new wing. Open space disappeared at the Eckhart site when Mr. Ed Twigg and his crew used old doors to partition the rooms. A greenhouse became an industrial arts classroom, attendance offi- cers read the absentees over the P.A. system, and seventh period ended 10 minutes earlier. Plans were no longer on paper; they had finally gone into action. |pening
