New Facilities Serve Variety of Interests When new demands are made on a curriculum, space must be provided to house that activity. New surroundings ap- peared all over school this year. With classes occupying the new chemistry laboratory dedicated last year, Mr. Fischer's art course found ample room in the old lab to carry on art projects such as sculpturing, mosaics, oil painting, and glass etching. With 349 boys taking industrial arts courses this year, the two new wood shops were soon put to active use. Under the supervision of Mr. Reiman, junior high boys worked with plaster, braiding, fiber glass, and turned in such work as carved leather billfolds, quivers, and coin purses. In Mr. Hammond's shop, boys built stools, tables, and even a ham- burger press,- while in metal shop, Mr. Ray's classes worked intently on projects in art metal, welding, sheet metal, and lathing. Architectural drawing handled by Mr. Schumacher, built scale model houses and did other scale work. All building materials were purchased by the students from the school. Room to breathe can easily describe the new band room, where the new look made another initial appearance. Acoustic paneling on the walls and ceiling soak up unwanted sound and contribute greatly to the tone of our band. Down through the years our trophy case has been a sym- bol of athletic and scholastic accomplishment. Trophies, plaques, and memorials have found a permanent resting place, where they will always be looked upon with pride by students and alumni. Is it level? wonders Robert McCarthy as he tests the surface of a wood block. 8

A class in solving jigsaw puzzles? No, this is a scene from a new addition to the curriculum, advanced art. These students, with their instructor, Roland Fischer, are deeply engrossed in creating pictures with mosaic tile. Rewards and Mementos, ranging from trophies in sports and music to recognition of scholars, are dis- played for all to see in the show case in the hall. FLHS takes pride in its achievements, and that the case is crowded with trophies is proof that FLHS has reoson to be proud of its school. A rarity in FLHS history is a deserted band room, which is usually humming with activity. Acoustic tile, room- iness, storage space, and an extra special feature, a carpeted podium, seen in this picture, have been the dreams of Band Director Rollin Nelson for many years.
