C onsfrucfion What's new? Construction. Returning to school in September, pupils noticed the Portable was missing, they had to find their way through a maze between Woodruff and campus, the sidewalk north of the cafeteria had been moved and nar- rowed, fences had risen across campus, and the student parking lot was on the other side of Oriental. Along with this, big yellow monsters, commonly known as bulldozers, had moved in, fences, foundations and the resemblances of buildings had sprouted. ln about another year Tech will have grown to 15 buildings. Along with the buildings will come dressing rooms, stage craft classes, a first aid office, lecture rooms, and reflecting ceiling panels in the Auditorium. The Girls' Gymnasium!Natatorium will house a swimming pool, laundry center, and two volleyball courts. ln the Instructional Media Center there will be a new bookstore, a lobby, a com- puter seminar, and a new library, with reflecting panels as a special feature. The Boys' Gymnasium will be ready for action with new lockers and showers installed. The old Girls' Gymnasium will become a career center with a beauty shop, a barber shop, laundry and dry cleaning labs, and lecture rooms. lf you think this is a lot, it's only a partial list. Techites, be patient because you have about another year to wait.
