R I 52:5 2.5 .N . ' N. The halls were big, but very congested, the rooms were in bright, non-matching colors. There were green-blackboards and new desks and chairs without splinters. We'll remember the issue of lockers - the complaints of the slanted tops, and how crowd- ed they were with drill team, cheerleading, athletic, and outdoor clothing. The weekly bulletins and calendars remind- ed us of what was going on through the week and helped to recall the club meetings and other special events that were to happen. There was Student Council that was an honor to belong to on Tuesday Wednesdays were the days you could be a little late because of teachers meeting Thursday was Pep Club that usually was in the dark and Friday was Lettermans Club that the girls who had let tered couldnt belong to L. -Z.-1 'J'- TODDLIL M' ,nr l ?'f if HOUSE 5... -:ng If 4 , W. cn. l 3 A- all i ' 1 Q . v 1 .'

We can remember the lunch periods when we could go outside, the field where we played football, and baseball, the tennis courts with the dirt floor, the too small gym, the falling fire escape, and the windows in every room. Then we can remember the moving from the old Tech to the new Tech. The long wait- ing for our new school and the reaching of it. Never will we forget the remarks the stu- dents made as they roamed the massive halls. Where do we go? Where's the auditorium? Its so big' I think Im lost Those were the words that our nevv school heard from the voices of all the students entering the ten acre building in September of 1958 Some memories started now the first day in the new Tech Mr Betz approached the stage and all the kids down in the front rows yelled and we knew they were seniors and that we were all in the right spot We remem bered the welcome the 10Bs received and the Big Brothers and Sisters that were organized to help :Q- Q Bl C, UQCTHEQ .
