It consisted of a softball field, a six man football field, a tennis court and a quarter mile track. The softball field and six man football field, which are combined, were finished. The lights which light the field were purchased from Remington. A backstop and a fence which runs along the first and third base line of the softball field were also purchased. The track and the tennis court are about half completed. We, the graduating class of 1941, wish to express our sincere appreciation for having such a fine school from which to graduate. Page 1
