As the new decade opened, the Sand Springs community expanded at a rapid pace, Many new sights popped up around town, taking the place of the old ones. An emergency clinic was set u at the corner of Lincoln and Broadlway, to save atients the ex- penses of going to a ospital in Tulsa or rnedica treatment. The clinic had all of the facilities of an emergency room in a regular hospital. Another new face in Sand Springs was the new Safeway Super Store, built next ot the old one in the Sand Spring Sho pin Center. The new Safeway had, sucli features as a bak- ery, where fresh dough was made and baked daily, and a home appliance center, with television sets, radios, and accesories to many mechanical devices. Safeway also provided an ex- press pick-up, which, after the cash- ier checked out the customer, the items in the basket were then taken outside to someone who loaded the groceries into a car driven to the front step of the store by the customer. One of the most noticeable chan es was the addition to the Widow's C50- ny, located east of the original colony, across from Sand Springs Lake. The new addition was built due to over crowdedness in the other. It is also expected to be filled up 'ust as soon as the construction of the houses is com- pleted. After nearly five years of debate, the long awaited Cable Television finally came to Sand Sprin s. Sandites had their choice of whegier or not they would like to have the popu- lar enterain- ment roject in their Tiome.

Because classrooms bulged at the seans and students were so crowded in school halls that they could not fall even if they tried, an additional school wing was final- ly finished. iii r e Throughout the ' idk' first semester , .r '. ' administrators were practically i ,,,,, taking bets on when students would finally be able to move into the new classrooms. T e a c h e r s yearned for bet- ter learning at- mospheres, al- r r.r. r though they had if 'f become accus- r. . tomed to teach- .r's f ., 'Er .. ,IL ing in the cafe- A :we teria or behind ' A bQy'5 lggkef VNILL THE REAL EVIL KNIl:Nll 5 rOOmS. Many of PLEASE STAND UP With gas pnit the teachers also ' rising continually, several student waited for im- donned helmets and rode their twrle r provements in i' hm! the older part of T 7 the building. One such improvement was made in the vocational hall. Dur- in the month of October the red hall looked as if a tornado had touched down. New roofing was be- ing put on the building and, in the rocess, much cement and bricking had to be removed. This caused access to classrooms to be more difficult than usual. Red hall teachers had to close the doors of their rooms to keep out the heavy dust that made breath- ing difficult. Mr. Henry Hallford was one of the administrators who made sure that the construction ke t movin at a steady pace. Mr. Hall,ford's dedicated work was not all in vain, for he too, reaped some of the benefits of his la- bor. He finally received an office of his own in the vocational section of the building, over which he had au- thority. During lunch hour One-Adam Hallford policed the streets surround- ing the school in search of Sandites breaking the special speed limit or chunlcing ice at other cars. Also, dur- ing the warmer months of the year Mr. Hallford had his hands full with the increased number of motorcycles circulating school grounds. 1'This is greatly due to the impact of the gas shortage on students, stated Mr. Wayne McDowell, teacher. rs. .,
