Slide rules and periodic tables whirl in a student's mind A Learning takes concentrated effort and a stack of books. Pencil marks transform lectures into a tablet of notes. Our school building was built with money, transformed into bricks and cement.

They actually gave us a new schoollu And so it was those first days - be- wilderment, surprise, and enjoyment. We came to school when it was still unfinished.

School life came to a halt, students sat dazed in their sixth period classes, hearing in disbelief the news that couldn't be. But it passed H Spring brought trackmen running the halls while waiting for the snow to melt, baseball practice out in back, semester exams, the passing out of yearbooks, and a final look at what had been our new home for its Hrst year. 7
