Harry A. Allen, Superintendent, spent much of his time the last year over the blue prints for the new school. Progress is measured by the realization of dreams and the accomplishment of goals, while preserving the foundations of the past. 1966-67 is a year of transition and pro- gress in Trojan land. We are looking toward the threshold of a new home as we stand within the halls of our venerable home of the past. We are afforded the rare opportunity to experience the emotions of anticipation and challenge simultaneously with that of revere and nostalia. Our old school has served us with dis- tinction. We have a worthy foundation which deserves continuation. Our commun- ity, through the new building, provided us the opportunity to build upon this worthy foundation, to seek new goals and to estab- lish new horizons. EARLY ‘68 OPENING The 1966-67 school term has been filled with many activities for school board members. Regular duties of the school board were those such as plan- ning the school budget and reviewing conditions of work for teachers. Mem- bers of this legislative body listened to reports from staff members in the vari- ous school departments. In addition they authorized the formation of the new English program at LAHS. The board’s latest project is the new school. After employing an archi- tectural firm the board authorized the firm to draw preliminary plans for the new school. Following the completion of these plans, detailed plans were re- viewed by the board. Other activities involving the new school included auth- orizing the firm to contract, drawing and distributing specifications for the school, and finally, opening the bids. It is anticipated that classes in the new school will begin in the early part of 1968. Roy Cooper, Harry Allen, Richard Jorgenson, George Bender, Jack Taliaferro, Dr. W. R. Wight and Mack Smith.

E. E. Bruegel, principal, coordinates the high school's many activities, seeing to it that they run as smoothly as possible. When a student starts home with a load of books, he either has home work or is trying to impress the faculty; when a student walks down the corridors wearing a tragic expression, he’s either just had a pop quiz or his best girl gave him the gate; when a student burns the midnight oil over a stack of books, he either has a nine weeks test or a term report due the next day. All students share the above experi- ences. When you move into the new LAI IS, the building will be different, but you will experience happiness and disappointment as you did in the older school. Although we will be proud to move into a new build- ing we will always cherish memories of the old school. A D MINIS TRA TORS COORDINATE administrative assistant and director of Audio Visual Aids.
