I'm going to miss this old school for a million different reasons ... I remember what it was like to be new around here ... For a while, I wondered how I was ever going to fit into this strange, super- sophisticated world ... But now I wonder what 1 was so worried about ... the confidence came ... and so did the fun!

Thanks to Mr. Newman, we were able to witness the dissection of a dead cow. It was a truly unique experience, and it is doubtful that any of the students will ever forget it. A special thanks should be given to Mr. Newman for doing such a great job!

One being two rooms — an art and a science room — onto the high school. They are located on the west end of the building connecting the junior and senior high wings. There will also be a hallway with bus loading facilities out the west side. The other addition is to the east side of the Man- torville middle school. Included in this will be a new boiler room, kitchen, offices, and four class- rooms on the ground floor. The second story is not being finished off now, but future plans are for a media center and additional classrooms. Upon com- pletion of this, the older west wing will be re- moved. Funds for this work were obtained from a bond is- sue which was passed in May of 1975 . KASSON PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL DISTRICT 204 ARCHITECT KENNETH H.WALIJARVI £. ASSOC.
