9 BUILDING IMPROVE Dave Dimmich, Student Council President, invites you to enter the new room built in the back part of the old study hall. This room is now used for mathematics classes taught by Mr. Hambay. Repointing of the briok building in the school year 1960-1961 was the first step in an extensive remodeling program to improve existing facilities at Boswell. Reconstruction of the lower hall Joined east and west building wings—permitting free access to all parts of the basement level. During the summer of 1963, a new grade room was completed to accommodate in- creasing enrollment. The summer of 1964 included the painting of seven class- rooms, sanding and refinishing of the floors of the Home Economics rooms, re- finishing of all classroom floors, and repainting stairs, restrooms, and hall- way floors. Basement repairs included new restroom drainage system and repair of boiler stoker. The first step of a two-year complete rewiring system was finished with the installation of reset panels on each floor. 6

OF OUR A For a number of years, Boswell studente have not had an opportunity to develop their artistic abilities. Art was not included in their curriculum until the 1964-65 school year. Dave Brost, Jeff Mitchell, and Mike Flynn seem to be enjoying their study of dimension. PREVIEW Substitute teachers, sometimes difficult to find, pose no problem for Mrs. Kopka. Max Gretenoord is handling English 12 and Mrs. Kopka is proving that she is an interested student. During the past year, interest in sub- jects related to science has grown and the department at Boswell High School has expanded in olassslze and in equip- ment. Mr. Calhoun found new equipment a valuable asset to his department but felt a definite need for more. VARIOUS Chemistry students, Max Gretenoord,Den- nis Nunnally, Ernie Brown, and Dave Doeden are observing the behavior of solid copper immersed in a water solu- tion of the compound silver nitrate.

MENTS AID ART INSTRUCTIONS Mrs. Slater and her children pose with the type of furniture found in grade rooms one through three. Construction of a new classroom in the west part of the study hall, and moving of the library to the study area in the east end of the study hall, provided a new math area. The room previously used for math on the second floor became the art center. With the return of art to our curriculum, much hidden talent was uncovered. lew furniture for the first, seoond, and third grade rooms completed the improve- ments. Gary Stone, Kris Kramer, and Philip Goodwine prepare puppets which were displayed at the annual Open House. A portion of the study hall showing library and study areas. 7
