Jim Burnett sanded the floor, and sally Frost finished it with gym sealg Bob Munis furnished the paint sprayer to paint the room and did much of the work. Mrs. Vernon Steffan and Mrs. Pearson made the drapes. Many of the students also contributed the time and energy necessary to get the room in shape for future use. when the room was opened, ping-pong games became a daily habit. Dur- ing the year several parties were held there, the one given for Jack McKee by the sophomores being the first. It was followed by the Christmas ban' quet, the lunches following the PTA meetings, card parties, and the reher- sals for the band and dancing. The hot lunches were also served there while the program was in operation. The recreation room was, in fact, one of the busiest rooms in uranite County High School during the school year of 1949 and 1950.
