The 28th Street entrance to the school in a latter stage of construction. The offices and cafeteria are near completion. Unpainted walls and building materials denote construction still going on in the gymnasiun;. First rumblings of things to come . . . Summertime, and the school is on its way up. Here the gymnasium and the cafeteria are just being started. In May, 1958, a bond issue providing funds for the construction of Yorktown High School was passed by the voters of Arlington County. Nine months later, in February, 1959, land was cleared and the giant steel skeleton of the school appeared. Then came the months of work with brick and mortar, steel and glass as the building began to take form. In July, 1960, the physical plant of the three-million-dollar school was finished. Appointed principal of the new school, Mr. W. Ralph Kier began the difficult job of selecting the faculty and getting the school ready to open. During the months of July and August, 1960, the school burst into activity. By the end of August the physical plant was ready for oc- cupancy, the staff was selected and ready to begin, and the students were eager to enter, for Yorktown High School offered the promise of great things to come.
