The most memorable event this school year will undoubtably be the loss of the Egleston building. It all started back in 1957 when the settling of the land under the building was first noticed. At that time the school board decided against fixing the almost-new structure. This spring after con- sulting an engineering architectural firm, the building was condemned, except for the offices and V-1. The students received the good news on Sunday, Feb. 23. The building was vacated and the work on the structure was begun in April. Cement was poured un- der the building to prevent it from settling any more. Then the workers pulled out a wall of the lunchroom and replaced the beams on their supports. The building will be ready for use in the 1975-76 school year. 4

Cooperation between faculty, administra- tion, and students made the awesome task of moving a school much easier. During the three days of unex- pected vacation, the faculty and charitable students moved all the furniture out of the east part of the Egleston Building. Later they had to move much of it again as the consultants decided that only three rooms were safe for occupation. Lockers, desks, tables, books, shop equipment, and many other things that make a school had to be packed up and carried to trucks, to be hauled to the new classroom sights. The teachers spent all three full days at the school. Many student council members and wrestlers also pitched in with the dirty work. The administration was kept busy arranging for places to move the supplies and generally organizing the whole affair. 5
