Students had to avoid workmen and their equipment throughout the construction. There was no heat in the construction zones throughout the winter. This view is looking west toward the old vocational building. A new commons area was built between the cafeteria and old academic building. This view is looking toward the cafeteria. Lockers, tables, and games were later in- stalled. Making connections... Do you remember the chaos? Who could ever forget it. Scaffolding, construction workers, hammers pounding, the smell of paint, and signs saying STAY OUT were common sights and sounds as school resumed in September. Studentsand faculty alike quick- ly adjusted to the occasional in- convenience. Taking the long route to class was sometimes nec- essary because the corridors were temporarily blocked, but a last dash to class in the rain made most of us anxious to see the day when the five buildings would be under one roof. Through our cooperation — our 'tying together'—we have new surroundings we can be proud of, assistant principal Rex Bolinger said. Construction began in June, 1980, at the total cost of $1,250,000. Construction manager for the job was Miller-Davis Com- pany of Kalamazoo, Michigan. At a first glance the school may not look much different, but if you look closely you will see many proud of changes both inside and outside. Construction and remodeling have provided new halls connect- ing the five original buildings. An- other feature of the project is a new commons area, which offers students a place to relax during free time and at lunch. The new gym lobby gives Blazer boosters a place to chat and relax during halftime of basketball games or other events. New dis- play cases have been installed in the lobby, so it will serve as a showcase for our victories. Other benefits of construction and re- new machinery and tools, new art rooms with a separate ceramics area, new special education rooms, remodeled guidance and administration offices and lots of bright colors and fresh, new paint. The library was also changed. It in- creased in size to half again its original size, and provided addi- tional shelf space for books and periodicals.

When students arrived for the first day of school, they were greeted by roofless halls and standing water. This view is looking east between the old vocational and aca- demic buildings. This is a view looking north from the old academic building. The north parking lot was closed until the last two months of school because of the construction. Stu- dents used the east lot instead. Stay Out signs like this were common during the months of construction. Stu- dents were forced to walk around build- ings in all kinds of weather. This view is looking into the new commons area.
