IB and Construction On November I I, I986, the city of Greencastle learned that its largest employer, IBM, would close by March of I987. The Greencastle Community Schools had 200 students whose par- ents worked at IBM and half of them were at the high school level. Howev- er, most students stayed with friends until the school year was over. Senior Lori Combs expressed her feelings by saying, I am lucky that this is my senior year and I have all ready accepted the fact that I may never see certain members of my class again. by Debbie Danhour 1 r 2 3 O i ............

The middle school building corpo- ration sought to raise Sl0.8 million via a public bond sale. This corpora- tion opted to sell the bonds to a broker, who in turn sold the bonds at his own risk. This is called a negotiat- ed sale. The school raised Sl l,440,000 through the negotiated sale. The bond sale was handled by a five member Middle School Building Corporation. The members were Dale Pierce, Bob Shuee, Dave Hurst, Bob Hutchings and Jerald Calbert.

Vice Principal Calvin Rehla- lander said, 'll am personally satisfied. The weather has been great and the cooperation has been good from students and teachers de- spite the inconveniences. Senior Doug Hedrick said, l'lt's really great for the freshmen, because they are going to be able to enioy the remod- eling by the time they are seniors. by Andy Lewis ean Big Change Changes l5
