Lew Wallace Building Industrial Arts Building Four The Lew Wallace Building During the l955-56 school year, OUR WAY OF LIFE carried us for the last times to the Lew VVallace Building for many exciting activities such as the Iunior- Senior Prom, basketball games, and Bacca- laureate. It was the scene of tears-tears for a game well played, but lostg and the scene of laughter-laughter which resounded at the various programs. The Industrial Arts Building Here. training to ,carry UOUR YVAY OF LIFE into the future was provided. Since Franklin County is a combination of farm and factory where men and women make their living, it was necessary that Brookville High School should offer courses to prepare us for both. To meet this nccd this building was erected in l94S.

Plan-, for a new addition to the High School were made. drawn, and accepted which when completed will give B. H. S. a physical plant equal in size and type of any school in this section of Indiana. The plans include a new gymnasium seating approximately 2500, additional class rooms, and storage space as well as a central heating system. The first hint of the proposed project was given to thc students in a story which appeared in The B. High Spirit on December 3, 1954. Meetings were held, and on October Z-1 preliminary plans and possible methods of financing were presented the tax-payers for public approval. If acceptable bids are received, and if finances on hand are sufficient, work will probably begin during 1956 with completion early in 1957. The building will be located just cast of the High School Building with the main entrance on Tenth Street. as well as an entrance on Iohn Street. lt will occupy space from immediately north of the Industrial Arts Building and will extend to the north end of the High School Building. It will contain full facilities for the Music Depart- ment, and will offer ample space for a four year program of physical education, two years of which was dropped in 1953 due to lack of space.

THEY PLANNED THE BOOK Janet Evans, Assistant Editor: Robert Bunz, Advisorg Barbara Chaddon, Editor. Forward Our XVay of Life is the American way of life. lt is one of progress, work, determination, hopes, and disappointments. By word and picture we hope to illustrate Our VVay Of Lite for the school year 1955-56. The spirit and determination of the year is best exemplified by our cheer leaders, for the year 1955-56 was truly a year of spirit. For the Seniors, it was the final and most exciting chapter of their high school career. For the other students, it was one of the chapters leading to the climax of their Senior year. By the '56 Brooklct we hope to preserve this year from your high school career with all its sue- cesses and failures, routine days of study and those events always to be remembered.
