These foces were obvious- ly not those of freshmen - they were older ond wore uniforms. Mony were on rooftops ond lodders. No, they were not in- voders from outer spoce. They were the workmen who were hired to perform o simple operotion - repoir ond repoint North's compus. ln other words, give it o foce lift. The mojor repoir wos focused on the science building. Determining thot the roof of the building wos possibly unsofe, the School Boord of Lee County commissioned o controct to moke the necessory repoirs. As oll Red Knights knew, the incon- venience would initiolly leod to o positive end. They never dreomed the incon- venience would be of such mognltude. The roofers octuolly worked from down to dusk for three months to complete the job. As students sot in closs, the rumble of 214 equipment drowned out the voice of the teocher. After o few weeks students become wise ond corried ospirin with them to relieve the heodoche from the smell of tor. One o few occosions, ceilings in clossrooms octuolly fell in ond sundry other moteriols flew oround the clossroom. Actuolly, the repoir work wos not o mo- jor problem - ot leost not for the femole students. The wolf-whistles of the roofers boosted mony o young girl's ego. Other compus improvements included the pointing of exterior wolls. The focode of the buildings were re-pointed to elimlnote the work of vondols ond touch- up work wos done to correct the domoge coused by weother ond other noturol elements. It is becouse Red Knights toke pride in their compus thot oll mointenonce or repoir is done onnuolly, ond, in this onniversory yeor, they worked especiolly hord to moke us look good. Working downto dusk, roofers improve North's looks. fm Ml' S l
