i ,gh 5 li ss. . , 7..- After surveyors recorded measurements, determined what area must be leveled, and plotted the boundaries, workmen begin construction on the new building between Physics and Tech, teachers and students in nearby classrooms are hampered by the bulldozers' uproar in tearing up the walkway connecting LA with P and T. lab investigations Long and sleek are the buildings' ex- teriors with large panels of windows that let the bright sunlight stream into the classes, Students often come to the area around these in order to get away from the confusion of the central campus. Yet when classes change, people converge on the area from three different directions, and when it rains, the center of the three paths becomes a lake, Many students will long remember the antics of others, or better yet, of themselves, as they tried to get across it. Used for the meetings of the Engineers Club and for the Science Seminar class that few have understood its purpose, the Phy- sics building brings back fond mem- ories for all students as they once walked hurriedly up toward LA, hoping that they would beat the bell. Students will long remember the mud bowl behind LA that seemed to remain just that for eons of time. It would rain and then snow, and nothing would hap- pen to the area. Finally the walls be- gan to rise, and students realized that the building would be a great addition to the school. By means of the wooden walkway built near the new building, students dodge the large patches of mud between P and T in clearing the campus after school. 11 i fi k , ri . ,qfyil f-rf '-qv rf-' 41' J, fi wg QM: s,.......- I ,A ,ht Y Arva-,,.f , . x ' ' ,. ,Y M In L , ,W .
