Dusty when it was dry, muddy when it was rainy; inside and out it didnit seem to matter. Construction was slow and destruction was everywhere. The halls had no ceilings and were always cluttered with workmen and their equip- ment, making hallway travel hazardous. The classrooms were varied. First period could be a room with no carpet, no ceiling, no anything-but the second period class might look brand new, with bright walls and fresh carpet. Lunches also became a problem.
