THE NEW STADIUM Here is a column of pictures depicting the new athletic stadium, located in Wood- ward Plan. The first of this group shows a view of the patrons bleachers. These bleach- ers will hold approximately five-thousand people. During football season the patrons show their loyalty to the school and to the players by attending the games and filling the bleachers to capacity. For the benefit of the many patrons and out of town guests, a large parking lot was constructed to accomodate the automobiles. This lot is well-lighted and protected by the police during the games. lt is situated at the entrance of the stadium making easy access to the field for the patrons, Here is o scene of a group of workers taken during the construction of the field. During last summer, the men of the W. P. A. worked incessantly making the field and parking lot ready for the coming foot- ball season. The labor of the workers was justified when the stadium was completed. It now ranks as the best stadium in the valley. A view of the completed playing field is seen here. This is the finest field of its type in Southwestern Pennsylvania. On it is grown Kentucky Blue Grass which is watered and taken care of every day. The field is a hundred feet long and fifty-three feet wide. At each end of the field is sit- uated gates for the entrance of students or bonds. l-lere are shown the student bleachers. They will accomodate approximately forty- five hundred students. But, still more room is needed for the number of high school students that attend the football games. To the right of the stadium, a portion of the football practice field can be seen. Dur- ing the season this section is used for base- ball games. Page 10

THE NEW ANNEX Due to the overflow of students in the high school building the Second Ward School was used to accomodate the Prac- tical Arts Students. All departments of this course were transferred to this new home. Here is seen a group of boys working in the printshop, They learn to set up type and run the various printing machines as well as learn book binding. Another valuable department located in the Annex is the mechanical drawing shop. These boys learn how to make and con- struct blueprints, and also learn how to read them. In this new location more ad- vantages are given to the boys who are taking this course. Here we find our future Schiaperellis of l95O hard at work. ln addition to learning haw to make their own clothing, these girls study fabrics and designs so they may recog- nize good workmanship in read-made gar- ments. When these girls have finished their course in sewing, they will be capable of making their own wardrobes. Metal work is a new course added sev- eral months after the term began, Here the boys learn to work with metal in the mak- ing of pewter, aluminum, and copper ar- ticles. They also make metal bookends, bracelets, and other useful things. lt is cer- tain to prove quite popular from reports of the boys who are asking for a chance to take this course next year. Here we see a group of boys working earnestly in the woodshop. ln this course the boys are given training in the different arts of woodwork, This very practical course offers the students many opportunities to make their projects equal to those purchased in the stores. The boys learn to make desks, bookcases, shelves, and all types of articles made out of wood. Page
