Can you believe it? We all fit on one busl We had an assembly, and each student placed a shovelfull of dirt on the foundation area with a good thought on which to build. When we moved in September, 1965, there were nineteen teachers and fifteen class- rooms. So much space! We even had a room we could call a Conference Room nearly all year. I remember the first day of school in the new building. We lined up for assembly facing the wrong way. We faced the building instead of Senior Lawn.

1963-CARDE HALL OPE ED. . .BUT H ,Q 5 ,i.,5,,, ,W Jr , .R 1 H , J Q i 1 xi ,, ,aw as 5 I remember when Carden Hall opened with fifty-seven students. By Thanksgiving of that year there were ninety. We had our first Christmas Program at the Zonta Club. Our Christmas tree was in the entrance of the school Iwhich later became a class- roornj, and We each made a thought-gift decoration and hung it on the tree. I remember the pollywog stream Where we used to catch pollywogs with paper cups during recess. Mrs. Blunk used to lean out the Window and ring a bell to call us in, and We used to clomp up the stairs as loudly as we could. I remember the old green house with its converted garage. The junior Primary students used to take naps upstairs and listen to the First Graders downstairs. When the man behind the school would for- get and leave his sprinklers running, the First Grade classroom would flood, and We would have to put towels at the door.We had a friendly mouse in the classroom too. ff .,: -..',..2.x!, .fr N,-,f,..'... . , ...,. -1 - .-' ' ANNOUNCEMENT ' I' IIII' ILLEUIWIIRD IIIUIII I lllll Nl I Sv 'l457Sp -'-J 1 TEACHING BASIC SKILLS BY TNE GARDEN METHDD ENROLLMENT NOW BEING ACCEPTED 1 1 .

A NEW WING AND A IR. HIGH BUILDING .11 1 ii WX fx! fi Up TQ , ' ggjxii V,.' f in :l'!lYv'V - swf? a .xx f , X I remember the first Carden Hall Eighth Grade graduation. It was in June, 1966. There were seventeen marvelous graduates, and they could all fit on a stage made on top of the planter out- side Mrs. Gilbert's window. By September, 1967, the school had grown so much that we needed more classroom space. A new wing was added, removing our lunch area but giving us six more classrooms, an art room, and a new music room. At the dedica- tion ceremony, we expressed our gratitude to Miss Carden for her method and to the Donald Griswold family for having enough confi- dence in a young school to put up buildings for us. Thank Heaven, growth and prog- ress never stop, and in September 1970, we added our first Ninth Grade class with the mighty dozen!
