It is to the perpetuation of that memory that we present our 1956 Spygias Ji' 3 w- AM A if Q P52325 'Sz if s 'W Q., tv f 1 1 J ' 3 mf 1 W W if '51 3-P-Q F' 155 'fi-, '.

It gives those who work on our paper a sense of achievement, it helps develop some of their writing ability, it offers them an opportunity for co -operation and responsibility.

X, Ground Breaking January 4, 1956--- The morning was crisp and bright---the Woods had been partially cleared, The entire student body, the architects and contractor, the photographers, members of the Board of Education, the faculty, and friends of Ball gathered at the cleared area for the ceremonies which would officially start construction of the new high school. The band played, Reverend Sims pronounced the invocation, and Mr, Walter Luedke cut the frozen ground with a new, clean spade, With the closing of this final page of the 1956 Spyglass, there is also the clos- ing of the doors of Ball High School. The year 1956 marks the end of an era. It is, however, both an ending and a beginning--the ending of a school which by its very success as an institution of learning has become too large for its old shell, andimust seek another, and the beginning of a new school, a new era, a new future. Next year's Spyglass will tell the story of this transition--the story of this first year in the Glenwood High School, which at this moment is as yet uncom- pleted, though its walls are rising, its future already assured. Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings, -- Build thee more stately mansions, oh, my soul, -- ' As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free! 103 4 ..- - .M ,A'. 4,1 3 L. :ni -Ewa ,,,,z...- X Q, .fi 4 rg g , , 's gilff' .,,, ,A, G -hr. .,. ,
