The bottom floor, on level with the Technical building, has space for four science laboratories. The top floor, on level with the Language Arts building, provides classroom space. Numerous students with unruly streaks of curiosity, congregate on great mounds of dirt to witness the burst- ing of a water pipe in November. Making it necessary to cut off the school's water supply for a day, this mis- hap not only delayed the construction of the new building, but also created Myers Park's own muddy flood. orld Literature With the addition of the new two-story language arts and science lab building to the campus, comes an improvement in all of the facilities at Myers Park. Although the construction of it caused quite a stir at times, as in the case of the flood, the extra space and new equipment provided by the building will make many classes smaller and provide opportunity for advancement in others. The floor on the level with LA will contain language arts class- rooms, while the ground floor will have three new laboratories. By providing this extra space for storage of equip- ment and for instruction, it should also make study more pleasant for the students and teaching more pleasant for the instructors. Air conditioning will be installed in the building, mak- ing it the first on campus to have such equipment. This newest addition to Myers Park will bring the total number of buildings on campus to ten. lt will make the campus complex even more beautiful and will add to the atmos- phere in which a desire for knowledge can grow. 1.2 t Qu , .rugs M h zgffmfylti -. , Alf , v -. l , I5-,. 5 , , x , . 5 A , A In ' 4 i': :'f fA'-1 '-' 444' ..

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 .

rt, Home Economics classes located in Technical building Coming down the temporary wooden ramp that has lines of dripping water running parallel at certain areas when it rains, the visitor comes to the Tech- nical building. lt can be noted for its lack of activity on the exterior and in the hall, but once inside the classes, the opinion is quickly changed. All of them are teeming with activity. In the Foods classes the girls learn to prepare and serve food. ln the world literature classes students are exposed to various cultures through study of their litera- ture. No student of this class can for- get the test days when he entered to be met by the smiling instructor who set a wonderful mood. After the test the student wonders what the smile had really meant. Without the facilities provided for the study of the manual arts and without the space provided by the parking lots for the roadsters brought by the stu- dents, Myers Park would be greatly lacking in her ability to provide a com- plete education for her students. Advanced art students Lisa Muilenburg and Lloyd Whether a creative student wants to become familiar with fundamentals or to learn more difficult techniques, the art classes held in the Technical building are an inexhaustible source of appeal to many students. hK: 'g, In Y 'VII' fy .Ns-K As a former tourist to Japan, Miss Phifer uses a Japanese umbrella of brilliant colors as a visual aid to a world literature class in its study of Japanese literature and drama. Open to qualified seniors, world lit cul- tivates an appreciation and enjoyment in literature as varied as the ancient Greek and the very modern. Displaying her culinary abilities acquired in Foods l, Louise Steiger removes a pie from the oven, while Carolyn McKericher admires her work.
