These processes occurred si¬ multaneously, as this year marked the completion of the new addition to the school building. Physical edu¬ cation and athletic facilities, a new music department, four shop areas, and a carpeted study hall are con¬ tained within the structure, in addi¬ tion to the long-awaited new gymna- sium.

successful Food Fair ends with dance Despite the surrounding haze, the Washington Monument stands proudly. Clark students displayed liveliness and zest at the PTA Food and Fun Fair. Several club-sponsored booths included a fish pond, a candle shop, a balloon room, and a jail. The festi¬ val was closed with a dance spon¬ sored by the Student Council. Juniors and seniors joined students from other Hammond high schools for a five-day tour of Washington D. C. Sights included in their tour were the White House, the Lincoln Me¬ morial, and the colonial town of Williamsburg, Virginia. During the spring vacation several Clarkites had the opportunity to tour Spain and Germany. Those who toured Spain visited the fa¬ mous cities of Granada, Toledo, and Madrid, while those who traveled to Germany spent their ten days vis¬ iting the Rhine River, Munich, and the Black Forest, along with several sights in Switzerland, Austria, and Denmark.
