With the reality of this dream, came a campus-style school which, when com- pleted, will consist of seven buildings. The three academic buildings have lO3 modern classrooms, three theatrical l rooms, six labora to ries, and three i modern home economic units. The stu- dent activity rooms and student earliest completed units. lounges furnish places for clubs and friends to meet. The cafeteria, audi- torium, and gymnasium are planned to accommodate l,9OO pupils, and the li- brary, with a capacity for lO,5OO vol- umes, will assure students of literature as up-to-date as the school, The school is so designed that new units may be added in the future as the need arises. THREE OF A KIND are seen in one view of the three academic buildings, which were the

community behindthe school. New traditions have begun with the new school, but old standards and traditions set by those before them live as proof that Fairmont does some things merely because they have been done before. Many parents and adults of Kettering have attended Fairmont since it began sixty-eight years ago and now back the school, sometimes subtly, in its various activities. Nothing, from homework to class plays, would be ef- fective without the cooperation of these adults. MR. WALTER CREACER, father-in-law of Mr. Dwight l.. Barnes, Superintendent of Schools, is honored at the half-time ceremonies of the homecoming game as one of the oldest living graduates of Fairmont. The sixty-two year old one-time student attended Fairmont when it met in the fire hall on Dorothy Lane. Although not known as Fairmont then, it was the begin- ning of the Fairmont of today. Band Parents, Athletic Boosters, P-TA, Lions Club, and other organizations backed Fair- mont in various activities. From speakers at club meetings to spec- tators at ball games, each joined in to help develop good citizens from the students of Fairmont. STUDENTS were not the only ones who cheered the basketball team on toward victory. Parents, faculty and other inter- ested adults squeezed in the already- packed gymnasium.

the student . A familiar sight this year was the con- struction work going on around the cam- pus. As school began in the fall, only the three academic buildings were completed. Through the year, construction of the other four buildings began and progressed as 6,000,000 pounds of masonry, 48,000,000 pounds of concrete, 3l0,000 lightweight blocks, l00,000 glazed tile, 6,500 window panes, 400,000 face bricks, and 350,000 man hours went into the seven buildings. Sod was laid, shrubs planted in the lawns and the patios, and the student parking lot finished as the seasons rolled by. FAlRMONT'S CAFETERIA has a different appear- ance now from the construction stage as photo- graphed. TYPICAL VIEW around Fairmont during the day was a scene of busy students as seen through the window walls on the hall side of each room.
