Schools Expand Unlike the state, we can't say that Austin is particularly noted for its gopher popula- tion. Rather, its claim to fame lies in its increasing human population which is straining school facilities to their present limits and demanding more and bigger build- ings. Most recently opened is the new Neveln grade building which welcomed an over- flowing number of pupils on the opening day last September and has been bursting its seams since. Additional classrooms were being planned before the school had been in session six months. Shaw and Sumner grade schools have had new additions within the last few years and more of the same un doubtedly loom in the future We Remember I C349 lol X .1-V. - heir- i i tt x 1 N iiiimmmm Linda Paulson, Jon Ster- ling Children Play Kathy Kulas, Cheryle MeClary.

How true it is! Everyone knows that a well- rounded personality requires that the stu- dent participate in extra-curricular affairs as well as play the role of the proverbial book-worm. It would be difficult, indeed, for any of us to say truthfully that nothing here interests us, for our school system offers jobs to be done, clubs, and sports to fill the needs of either the most studious or lazy. For those musically inclined, Austin has bands, orchestras, and choruses. The fellows desiring to run off excess energy can try out for any of their school's fine athletic teams, while the more ambitious of the girls may lose a few of those extra pounds by signing up with the Girls' Ath- letic Association. Equally important to many are the organizations such as the Hi-Y and the Friendship Club, where everyone can get together for a good time as well as ac- complish many useful projects. Paralleling our school growth is our com- munity expansion. Heading the list of city- wide developments has been our Sterling Shopping Center which provides quite a con- trast to some of the aging buildings on Aus- tin's main street.
