Like a diamond in the rough, our new Physical Educa- tion Building gleams in all its splendor on the east campus. Barely Completed when these photographs were taken the last week in january, it still lacked its terracing, sodding and landscaping. Wonder and pride fill the hearts of all NLR residents as they gaze upon this newest advance toward our educa- tional goals. The youngest member of the family on Wild- cat Hill, the building will be the scene of heartbreak and exaltation for the Wildcat basketball teams of the future. A shrine of physical fitness, the Physical Education building will be a symbol that the' people of NLRHS are interested in happy, healthy, and fun laden good times for their youth. aeaaevzeseazeaxea A Basking sleepily in early spring sunlight, the stadium looks deserted. But listen a moment to the soft wind voices .... Sud- denly, it is crisp autumn dusk .... the flood lights go on . . . . thousands strong, the excited fans scream their loyalty to the team .... a glint of light on the drum major's baton, and the horns blare a fight song to the crash of cymbals . . . . there is a blue and white swirl of cheerleader skirts . . . . and out on the turf good men and true do battle for Wildcat fame, Physical Education Building and Stadium X

' .'3:s-s- Started as a dream on the drawing boards of McAninch and Mahnken, archi- tects, the new Physical Education Building is now a dream come true. january of 1957 was the month the architects' plans were approved by the School Board and the Contractor was appointed. In February, work was begun in earnest by the Tri-State Construction Company. Brick by brick, and board by board Wildcat Hill has watched the new building go up to the tune of S5l0,000. There are four dressing rooms in the P. E. Building, a girls' dressing room, a boys' dressing room, a dressing room for the officials at basketball games, and a dressing room for the visiting team. All dressing rooms, which include showers, are completely tile. There are two classrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. An electrically operated wall divides the main court, which is used for regular Wildcat basket- ball games, into two full size courts, one for girls' physical education and one for boys' physical education. Folding seats are another attraction of the new building. The seats number 2,750. They are 15 rows high and they fold down from the walls. The building is heated by its own heating unit which is separate from the school heating system. wx'-XX N XX XXSKE XXX, .fill w S, E g igwwls ,. , 4 . . f t i 4 5 'l IJ . s W ,k-- '- 7 ..
