WE WATCH ED IT As the first scoops of dirt were removed on December 14, and the concrete foundation was subsequently poured, we watched from the sec- ond floor window trying to visualize the various finished rooms. Soon the walls began to rise and on April 17, 1955 official corner stone laying ceremonies were conducted. By the summer of '55 we found ourselves wandering through a maze of steel structure and concrete blocks. lt was beginning to look like a school. ln Novem- ber of '55 the first move was made into the in' dustrial arts room which served as a homeroom and study hall. By March all but a few final touches were complete and we were giving thanks in our hearts for the many new facilities now available to us. Dedication was held on Sunday, April 22, 1956. Following are a few in- teresting facts about our new building: GROW AND GROW 'Nu After numerous consultations with faculty, boards, committees, principal and superintendent, plans were drawn to our specific needs and recommendations. Much to our regret and sorrow, Mr. Albert F. Heino, architect, and Mr. G. Rainer, finishing superintendent, were called to rest before corn- pletion of the building. 'l'he architecture stresses vertical lines. 'lhe longest corridor in the school is 384 feet and all corridors total 843 feet. The gymnasium has a bleacher seating capac- ity of 1000, and a total seating capacity of 1800. 'lhe cafeteria has a seating capacity at meal time of 420. The library was designed to hold 7500 books of which we now have about half. 14
