THE STADIUM The Stadium was presented by the Greater Oak Lawn Swimming Pool Recreational Fund of the Oak Lawn area. The contractor was Deo Chapman of Oak Lawn. Both the High School and the Stadium was designed by the architects Madden Connor of Harvey, III. The official dedication was made on November 7, 1953, at which time the Reavis Rams played the Oak Lawn Spartans. Members of both the Oak Lawn Board of Education and officers of the Swimming Pool Fund were presented. The program consisted of a speech by Mayor Harvey Wick; a talk by Warren Keneipp of the Board, Elmer Buell of the RecreationalFund and Dave Hefferman for the County Superintendents Office. Chris Coniglio, President of the Student Council, accepted the Stadium in behalf of the Student Body of the Oak Lawn High School. Dreary weather could not dampen the cheerful spirits and grateful hearts of the Oak Lawners.
