The groundwork, to an inexperi¬ enced eye, left some doubt as to the outcome of the whole procedure. Dig that crazy labor gang! Sev¬ eral Martinsville junior high stu dents participated in the ground breaking ceremonies. Junior The first phase of the extensive building program in the Metropolitan School District was completed with the dedication of the new junior high building on March 27. The architects were selected in February 1953, contracts were awarded in January 1954, the ground¬ breaking ceremony was held on March 13, brick work began on April 8, and finally classes began using the building on January 3, 1955. There are eighteen class¬ rooms at the present time, with plans to add an addi¬ tional wing in a few years. Half of these are now being used by elementary students until further con¬ struction is completed. If you happened to pass during the summer, work¬ men were busy raising the walls. Students on the east side of the school build¬ ing, especially upstairs, were entertained by work¬ men crawling around on the roof like ants in the early weeks of October. The roar of the cement mixers could be heard dis¬ turbing the summer peace for blocks around. Many jobs, such as in¬ stalling the heating plant, were handled by sub-con tractors. . f . rfl % r ' fe. i- E-i ■Mr-? Mm p Lc HI i
