PROGRESS IN AN OLD BUILDING Not only do they look terrific, they open without dragging and will close without slamming. It seems the Baird Brothers' Construction Company worked consistently at the school this summer. The library was remodeled to enlarge the area by creating a library office, a production center, a magazine storage area, a circulation counter, and an audio visual area with individual carrels. They enclosed a part of the teachers lounge to install a restroom and also built a small cabinet unit containing a sink. They completely changed the appearance of the old agriculture building. It was reinovated and sound proofed to become the music room; the school purchased a new piano and stereo system especially for the classes. They installed rails for the steps leading into the auditorium. The elementary and high school bathrooms were reworked. Also, a wall was removed in the jr. high science room giving easier access to the laboratory. When school started, they moved across the street to the athletic director's house. The garage was converted into a family room by raising the floor and paneling the walls. Kathy Campbell did wonders with a few rolls of wallpaper and a bucket of paint. Coach Campbell tells us the football stadium had improvements made to it during the very hot summer. The homeside sitting area now has new metal bleachers and the visitors' side was repaired. The restrooms were restored to functional use. Also, a new scoreboard was donated by Pepsi Cola. He said there were several people, who by volunteering their time and assistance, made these improvements possible. According to Mr. Mudford every green- house should naturally have a green entrance door and just recently this was accomplished. The newly built greenhouse cost approximately $3500 and was paid for from the FFA's timber account. One parent said I helped plant those pine trees when I was in school and now my children are benefiting from that labor. A lot of the building materials were donated and the construction was done by the Agri classes. A new service ini- tiated into the cur- riculum is the guidance and counseling pro- gram. Mr. Bonham was assigned the respon- sibility of scheduling and to give assistance to the students in matters relating directly to the educational opportunities to be obtained now and later in colleges, vocational technical schools and careers. One major thing Mr. Davis has done is to refurnish two classrooms in high school with new furniture every year. He has been superintendent for three years giving us a total of six rooms of new desks. Just for a comparison look at Mrs. Cowart's and Mrs. Scott's rooms; there is no question as to which is more conducive to learning. The new principal, Mr. Mears, certainly did the right thing when his office was moved into the classroom across the hall. He has enough space to invite several people into the office at the same time. His main concern is to emphasize three major ideas to the students - Thinking, Listening, and Following Instructions. We understand there are some long range plans to completely rewire the electrical system and perhaps in the next few years to have all classrooms centrally heated and cooled. It is inspiring to see so much progress being made on the campus. It will take all of us working together to make our school a better facility. When you tell someone you go to school at Fouke, say it with PRIDE!

It is so pleasing to find a clean looking environment in which to spend our hours of study. The tile has definitely improved the appearance of the high school building. One student remarked that the hall is so bright I need sunglasses to keep from being blinded by the shine. The new doors throughout the building are certainly an asset. 15
