When the stadium was completed in 1937, classes were held there also until Westark Com- munity College was built and completed in 1952 at Waldron Road and Grand Avenue. Twisting the years away, the anniversary assembly student cast performed dances that raged through the last five decades-from the jitter-bug to the Hustle. As another way to say Happy Anniversary, Northside, art students Gina Hightower and Ruth Wood prepared a sign that decorated the scoreboard in Mayo-Thompson Stadium during the week of football homecoming. 3 , i 2 4 5 Miss Linda Boen, Northside art instructor, interviews Mrs. Jane Robinson, a former North- side cheerleader, during the 50th anniversary assembly, Tuesday, February 20, in the auditorium.
