IUE SEE UUH DHEHHIS This handsome blond brick building is a new slght on the school grounds of L H S Atpresent the modern fluorescent lighted structure houses the agriculture shop and manual training departments On the opposite page is a front and east view of the familiar old red brickschoolbuilding plus the new auditorium gyrnnasium addition This massive wing 15 designed witha huge stage and the usual basketball court it has a seating capacity of approximately two thousand five hundred to three thousand it also has a wealth of class rooms and storage space Do you remember several years ago when the bond issue was first presented to Liberal voters how members of the Journalism classes, backed by the students of L H S campaigned for it in editorials and news stories and how hopes were smashed when it was defeated? Again on April 5 1949 the bond issue for new school buildings was putbefore the voters Againacampaign was waged but we students were almost afraid to hope that it would be successful Everyone waited anx iously for the returns Then came the happy news that the bond issue had been passed' After that everyone was in suspense as beautiful drawings of the build ings to be were displayed When would construction start? How long would it take 'P Finally inthe middle of the school year 1n 1950 the clackety clack in of the machines breaking up the old cement tennis court to make way or the new building could be heard For a while everyone became wa tche r s , but the newness of the building process became a matter of course and thmgs went almost back to normal except for the occasional noise, made by the machinery The vocational-ag building was ready for use in Septem and, at last in the spring of 1 1 carne the long-awaited completion of the new wing ' - Pe r haps our feelings toward these buildings old and new, and the students and faculty they house, is best expressed in the L. H. S. school song: 4
