Cascia Hall High School - Towers (Tulsa, OK)

New science building, new student lounge area, new com- puters: this year Cascia shifted its adherence to age and tradition in the way of progress. For most of upperclassmen who have known only the time-honored and time worn facilities of chemistry labs and crowded hallways, the open- ing of the Tack Center displayed a vibrant quality about the school. We could see we had more going for us than tradition alone. We were able to grow with the times and open ourselves to new challenges. On our first walk through the entrance and foyer, it seemed as if a new and slightly foreign. school had been attached to our school. Light fixtures, stairways, window frames and skylights told you that this building is of today. We had grown so accustomed to the feeling of age that it seemed essential and inevitable. But this structure with new administrative offices, bright new classrooms and gleaming spacious laborator- ies has shown us that we can be as modern as the newest of schools while preserving a tradi- tion that is unique in Tulsa and the Southwest.

The new structure also smoothly complements the style and grace of the old. From the sturdy towers and vaulted roofs to its windows, the original structure is a unique architectural phen- omenon. The Tack Center ex- tends those qualities. In spite of costs, administrators raised the roof on what could have been a squared-off top and installed dormer windows to match those of the old. In full, the school created an image of itself in the future: deeply conscious of its valuable past and enthusiastic about its response to a changing education- al scene. We dedicate our effort here to this remarkable gesture on the part of the school and the friends of Cascia. We feel it represents a new beginning. +4
