Facilities Increase Through Growth Undying enthusiasm was one result of the physical growth in the lifelines of NSHS. Not only did the physical building expand, but the number of students also increased by hundreds. In April we saw the first stages of the new construction, and by August the auditorium in the new fine arts wing towered beside the Carrollton water tower. The first reality of large numbers was crowding 2,200 students and fac- ulty into a gym with a 1,500 seatin capacity. Though space was limited? our exuberance was unsur ressable. At our second varsity football ame against St. Marks, we stood closer than shoulder to shoulder to support the hustlinghTrojans. Some p ysical changes came about more suddenly than others. Science and health students were surprised to be blacked out one day in October. The electricians seemed to know less about the lights than they did the school's clocks. After time stood still at 1:50 for more than six months, the repairmen were seen replacing the clocks but must have forgotten to wind them. One temporary addition to our building was the two extra tempo- rary buildings. Housing Power Mechanics, CVAE General Con- struction, and On-Cam us Suspen- sion classes, the T-buifiling served their purpose even though they were of some inconvenience. On stormy days, walkin to these classes was all but enjoyiale. But surprisingly, the temperatures in the rooms were more consistent than those in the school. With warm welcomes from many athletes, tracksters in particular, the NSI-IS track was completed and opened in the fall. Sprinters and uis- tance runners began to beat .jail paths in the tar and loosfe gravefl Other Carrolltonites, busjness men and housewives, also enjoyed the facilities for their weeker j jogging. Physical changes and 5' owth char- acterized the fifth year 1 the LIFE- LINES OF NSI-IS.
