Freeway travel between Everman and Hallmark has always been dangerous. With the construction of the freeway, Everman stu- dents will no longer have to risk life and limb trying to get across. During construction, more risks are involved for those students living in Hallmark. For the past year, residents in this area have been inconvenienced by waiting out red lights, letting a huge bulldozer or crane pass by, or just trying to get on the freeway and in with the flow of the speeding traffic. However, all of these problems caused by this $12,700,000.00 freeway should end with the completion of construction around June 1, 1976. Warm January temperatures prove very helpful for the highway construction. jpn The long-awaited green light finally changes from red to allow a few cars to dash across. Activities
