SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY In 1965 news came that Caruthersville would have a bridge. After eleven long years we dedicated the bridge, December first, 1976. The bridge opened new horizons for everyone as we and our country ventured into the third century. Along with a new bridge our community and school developed many improvements. In the town the Colonial Federal Building was completed while a community center was built and a Wal-Mart prepared to move in. The Caruthersville school system made many changes too. Westside school added a new wing of classrooms and an auditorium. The High School converted the Old Gym into home economics and business rooms, a study hall and a library. 4
