New administrative service center finally completed In the beginning of the summer the Jewel and Osco stores opened along with many other stores to create a miniature shopping center. These stores included Bronco’s, The Athlete’s Foot, The Pinball Express, Fayva, R J Fashions, Slick’s Dry Cleaners and Launderers, and The Re-Sell-It Shop. To the delight of many students these stores offered jobs for them to make money. This center also offered places to go for enjoyment. Many students went to Bronco’s to eat pizza or try their luck at pinball. In the end of January the roof of Jewel collapsed because of a heavy snow-fall. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, but the store had to be closed temporarily. By the beginning of the school year the New Administrative Service Center was completed. The center had been renovated from the old Timothy Ball School. Construction had been slowed down by a fire that broke out in the building last spring. St. Anthony’s Hospital, which had been under construction since 1974, hopes to have its newest addition com¬ pleted by 1983 or 1984. This year at Christmas time the town square was beautifully decorated by the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce and CPHS art students. The Chamber of Commerce put up a traditonal nativi¬ ty scene. The art students contributed large Christmas cards with scenes and verses which students worked on under the supervision of Mrs. Donna Pancini. The Chamber of Commerce hopes to add something new to decorate the square each year. With the opening of Jewel, A P clos¬ ed in mid-August because of a slack in business.
