 CHANGES AND TRADITION PRODUCE VARIETY Many new additions were observed by the students at M.A., especially the new speech annex which was taken over by Mrs. Sedgwick for her Speech and Forensic classes. Surprise interruptions took place when the classes had frequent unexpected visits from the gas man and telephone repairman. One objection the students had during the cold winter months was dashing across the icy parking lot to make it to class on time. But there were no fatalities. Despite such inconveniences, the annex provided many students with valuable experience in developing their skills in Speech. The Covenant Womans Auxilary provided extensive redecoration of the teachers’ lunchroom. More noticeable to students were the new ceiling and lighting in the students lunchroom, and the new warming-house and equipment building built adjacent to the athletic field. The mointenonce crew.
