Ames High School - Spirit Yearbook (Ames, IA)

Students entered the area of the new school in the fall to be met by the roar and commotion of modern earth-moving equipment, dust from the acres of newly plowed land, and the torrid heat of that memorable first week. Droves of students poured out of the shuttle buses, from the old into the new. They drove new cars and old ones, and they walked—discovering anew this mode of transportation as a matter of necessity. i The curiosity of each student as he entered the new building was only appeased after a group tour with his friends. The curious eagerly looked into the shops, discov¬ ering new equipment and machines. They were equally amazed by the language lab¬ oratory with its modern technique of utilizing individual booths. The new science rooms kept pace with modern technological advances, and it was easily seen that they were designed with an eye to the future. What will the future bring to Ames High and its students? The new school will someday be complete with new facilities, honor and traditions, able to proudly take its place beside the old school. This transition has made it possible for the Ames High stu¬ dents of 1961 to have a hand in completing the old and starting the new.
