'NC . QQ. A stadium, at last!! As long ago as 1939, students and teachers at Baldwin were dreaming ofa stadium, a place to hold their own ath- letic events. At one time ground was broken for a field directly behind the school. After it was leveled off, the field was used for some of our football games. Those who wanted to watch these afternoon games stood along the top of the hill since there were no bleachers. Home games were discon- tinued because the rocky ground made playing dan- gerous. Baldwinites went. back to dreaming of a perma- nent stadium of their own, a dream which came true in 1954. Many people, the sports enthusiasts of our community, the school board, the design- ers and engineers, and even the people who worked on the actual construction, help- ed to make this dream a re- ality. These persons have built a place where future Baldwin teams will win and lose, where thousands of stu- dents will enioy 'themselves watching athletic events, and where senior classes will hold their graduation exercises. As the years go by, this sta- dium will eventually hold as many memories as the school rooms, halls, cafeteria, or auditorium. So to these people who gave us so much, to you who made our stadium possible, we dedicate the Balthi of 1955. 5
