PROGRESS Expansion--new rooms, new gym, new stage, new activities. Atlanta Community High School has enjoyed a continuous expansion throughout the year of 1936-37. After months of planning and agitation, an agreement was finally reached, and in the spring, of '36 construction was begun. Those were unforgettable days. The school grounds began to buzz with noise and activity. At first surveyors and contractors then machinery an material arrived. Trees were felled and riant sera-) ers began taking out tone of earth. ’loise and dust became a monotonous accompaniment to classroom activity. As the weather become warmer, social seif, ncc classes became a torture because windov.s were closed end shades lowered to prevent outside disturbance. Therefore, it was with a feoling of relief that students and teachers closed their boohs for the summer vocation. When wo returned to school lust fall it was with a sense of expectancy. In the place where children had rl yed stood four brick walls and the framework of the roof. Everyone watched with intense interest as the work progressed rooidly. The stage w-s built, fl.-ors were laid, and fixtures were installed. At length the night was set for the dedication of the gymnasium, a few days later when the contractors r leased the building for use, students and teachers began.a tour of inspection of the now addition. The gymnasium is most modern in every n spool. The floor of hard made is finished in a .lirror-Hko gloss.
