Senio ldvino ' 77£e t4 e To the Class of 1953: Tou have now completed your high school course. I think you have spent worth- while years and perhaps they will also be the happiest years of your life. bach of you has made many friend- ships among students and faculty, which will be a constant source of satisfaction to you. I have enjoyed my position as class advisor because of the diligence and earnestness and complete cooperation you have shown during the senior year at high school. Some of you will enter the service of our country. Others will enter higher insti- tutions of learning and still others will go in- to the world of labor. But whatever your field of endeavor I know that you will assume respon- sibilities for which your training in high school has prepared you. Congratulations and good luck Marie V. Lundeen 5

The first shovelful of sod was turned for the Lake Ste- vens High School's new gymnasium by Carl Bartlett, 1952 chairman of the school board on February 18, 1952. The school band,students and many adults were on hand for the long awaited start of the new gymnasium. The grand opening of the gym was held on December 6, 1952. The formal dedication was held on Decemoer 14. Mrs. Pearl Wanamaker was the main speaker at the dedica- tion. The firms of the architects and contractors were represented. The gym area is 100 by 100 feet. It provides a large bas- ketball floor for interschool com- petition and can also be divided into two smaller floors. A third floor section 25 by 80 feet can be used for recreation also. During games, temporary bleachers are placed there. It has a seating capacity of 1,200. The floor is a live floor of eastern maple. There are spacious, se- perate shower and dressing rooms for boys and girls,a laundry room, a drying ro m and two basketroorrs. Steam heat piped in from the high school building provides heat for the gym. The fresh air from outside is drawn in and stale air drawn out by an automatic sys- tem. The construction of the gym was constantly under anxious observation by the L.S.H.S.stu- dents. We are all very proud of our new gym which ranks among the first in the state. 7
