e o oo t hose vvho stay, Departments left behind in Building B after the big shuffle took a deep breath and spread out. The guidance department acquired a room of its own, and the cafeteria expanded into the bleachers of the girls' gym. Art classes moving out to the old ag area left behind two classrooms. One became an English room, and the other took the overflow from the pub- lications department. Journalists Work like veterans about o professional semi-circular copy desk. A miniature house was moved into the school and took up residence in the enlarged shop rooms. All boys taking the electricity course are required to wire the little house correctly to pass. The library moved down to occupy the back of the old study hall and gained a periodical room and an office for the librarian. . FOR A LESSON IN PRECISION Danny McAllister, iunior, occupies the remodeled and enlarged shop rooms. Mr. McGeel1e does the teaching. . STOPPING FOR A CHAT with Mr. Collier, Phyllis Hedge and Danny Riggle test out the faculty table in the new wing of the cafeteria. The tables and chairs are new this year, too. . YOU WOULDN'T DARE! Newly installed fire alarms are spotted all through the building. Everett Pittman knows that if he lets this hammer fall and break the glass he'lI get into water hot as the fire. He isn't going to. l

C odern Q dge m rk "SHOULD I PEEK?" questions Nancy Howell, senior, as she and Jo Ann Anderson, senior, examine the accordian pleated door that separates the long hall through Build- ing C. I l O Atter careful planning and months of hard work, the contractors gathered up their tools and lett us to our dream come true - our new Building C. From pages of blueprints had emerged an imposing structure of steel and brick with walls of'windows across the south to catch the winter sunshine. The auditorium with its big stage, its galaxy of spotlights, and its seating capacity for 700 is the glamour spot ot the new building. Debut time came at Christmas with the annual cantata. The agriculture and music departments were able to move into their new quarters at Christmas. Both band and chorus gained large practice rooms, small rooms tor individual practice, and lots ot storage space. . "OUR LAST YEAR and its first," comments Barbara Hardy, Ccenterl senior class vice-president to Christine Whelan, secretary-treasurer, and John Heath, president, as they chat about the newest bronze plaque at FTHS.
