At the beginning of the year, students were surprised to find that a new gym floor had been installed. Also, most of the wooden floors in the upper level rooms had been refinished. During the year, other improvements were made including installing new stage curtains, remodeling the boys locker room, paneling the administration offices, and installing clocks throughout the building. Therefore Mr. Halsall, in co-operating with the Board of Education, has initiated several physical and other improvements at Neponset High School.
