as Elm hurst grows The nerve-raking noises that seemed to per- meate the classroom especially on exam days, the yellow crane bucket that swept by the windows as the class tried to interpret poetry, the stench of the diesel fumes that leaked into second-story class- rooms as bulldozers worked beneath, the grainy dust that blew through open windows onto the desk tops on warm autumn days, the sloppy brown mud that filled the chuck holes in the parking lot — all these things were caused by the ' 64- ' 65 construction at Elmhurst. Students who drove to school remember parking in the dust, wind, mud, and snow of the low field across Sandpoint Road that became a temporary parking lot. For EHS high-schoolers who withstood the con- ditions caused by the crowdedness, these problems will be remedied when the new building opens. For instance, the lunch line that sometimes caused a twenty-five minute wait will be replaced in the new cafeteria by two double lunch lines which will feed over 500 students in ten minutes. A wide stairway will replace the bottleneck of narrow ramps that caused traffic jams when the bells rang. Study halls will be less crowded. Twenty-three new classrooms — from home economics to developmental reading — will enable the size of individual classes to decrease.
