l-los ord Field ls Completed Remember when The Field looked like this? To the four thousand students who stood huddled on Hosford Field that wet October evening, a dream had come true. The bickering, heated discussions and sarcastic remarks about the new playing field, which it seemed would never materialize, had come to an end. While the rain trickled down their faces, youngsters and oldsters alike viewed the dedication of Hosford Field-an event long awaited by Heights High School and the entire community. In a shiny open car, flanked by bands from Heights, Roose- velt, Monticello, Roxboro, and Elyria, rode the man who had done it allf' Mr. Harry Hosford. Words could not express the gratitude of Heights, only the beaming Alan Greenberg, Mr. Hosford, and Mayor Dunlop at the dedication of Hosford Field. faces of the crowd could convey their heartfelt thanks. The miracle transforming the muddy lot into an illuminated, well-kept playing field had been performed. The teachers in the west wing of the building breathed a sigh of relief, for the noise of numerous workmen, bulldozers, and trac- tors had finally ceased. Yes, after twenty- three years of debate and indecision, the stadium had become a reality. As the drum majors stepped smartly down the field to the rhythmic beat of the stirring Heights band, everyone in the stands was filled with a sense of pride. The dedication of this field marked the beginning of a new ath- letic era at Heights.
