Sprawling C. P. H. S., located in the heart of the subur¬ ban Lake County seat, Crown Point, became the scene this year for its seventh alteration in 21 years. With this latest change, ’58-’59 became a year to grow on.” The original part of the main school plant, for which con¬ struction began in 1938, occupied a diminuative 18-acre campus and housed about 400 students in four grades in 1941 when the building was first opened for classes. This year, on a 23-acre campus, 1,322 students in grades seven through twelve met daily in five buildings. Projecting C. P. H. S. into a two-story L-shaped struc¬ ture were improving factors in 1948, 1952 and 1955. e p. S. Bulldog Memorial Field, the long-awaited football-track stadium, hailed ’54 for the Crown Point school com¬ munity. In planning now is the possible addition of a swimming pool to the area now under construction. An industrial education building in 195 5 provided then- ample facilities to house those students involved in vo¬ cational classes. The cafeteria and recreation room made their appearances then, too. Now breathing new life into the Crown Point campus, a physical education plant and 12 classrooms are nearing completion. To be ready for use in September, 1959, the addition will replace the two portable classroom areas with ultra-modern facilities for science, art, music, physical ed¬ ucation, and home economics. The giant newcomer will greatly broaden opportunities. In 1958-’59—the year to grow on”—plans and action showed Crown Point able to meet the future’s challenge with promise of the best educational opportunities pos¬ sible for its ever-expanding student population.
