A DREAM FULFILLED Actual construction finally got underway on July l, l950. Early that morning the Benoit Construction Company of Kankakee, lllinois, set to work clearing away some of our lovely scenery and our tennis court which was rarely used. Soon excavating was begun. Then huge stacks of lumber and tons of steel girders were hauled in. At noon or whenever students could steal away from the study hall, they stood and watched with amazement as the workmen stood high above the ground and caught red hot rivets and riveted steel girders together. Because of the national emergency brought on by the Far Eastern conflict, our plans for playing in the new gym during part of the 50-5l season were quickly halted. The weather man was not very cooperative with his numerous below zero readings. But in spite of everything, there is a great day coming during the 'l95'l-52 basketball season when we will burst with pride when the whistle blows to get that first home basketball game under way. 5

BOARD OF EDUCA'i'lON Largely through the efforts of the above pictured men: Mr. Ross Tipton, Mr. Olsen, Mr. Barce, President of the Board, Mr. Lafern Whaley, the school city of Kentland is now the proud possessor of a new gymnasium which the whole vi- cinity has longed for and dreamed of possessing for their very own. For more than ten years now, the students, the alumni, townspeople, and sports fans have been wishing, hoping, and working on what at first seemed im- possible--a new gymnasium for Kentland. For nearly a decade the loyal hardwood fans have traveled hundreds of miles in all sorts of weather to follow the local netters, but now, at last, it will be possible, come basketball season of 'l95l-52, for a thousand Kentlandites to make the rafters ring when the home team plays its first game in the home gym--A Thrill for young and old alike. It has taken many years of legal work and now more than a year of actual construction time. Mainly through a sinking tund, money was raised for this 5200,000 structure. 6
