THE GARi5IETai3,a. . . 1937 Sfllfaklllllllllllilllll OUR OWN STADIUM Our school was very fortunate in receiving a government loan to establish a new stadium on our athletic field, at a total cost of 3l558,000. With a seating capacity of 1500, this modern stadium, composed of concrete and brick, faces a new track and improved athletic field. The stadium athletic field is con- structed in an up-to-date fashion, having storage rooms for athletic equipment, and conference rooms for the use of the engaging teams. The new track is constructed one-half mile in length, and is designed to get quicker starts and finishes. The running track is surrounded by a concrete curb, and a low wall was erected on the north side of the field to prevent the falling of soil from high banks. The athletic fields for various sports are rearranged to give a better play- ing field, and all the surface is replanted with grass. In charge of construction was Mr. C. K. Hughes, who, working with fifty- three laborers, certainly did a fine job. This was a project of President Roose- velt's Work Progress Administration, and Haddon Heights was extremely for- tunate in being granted this loan. Haddon Heights High School is proud of this improvement, and we, the class of 1937, are duly honored in being the first class to make use of this stadium. U11
