So the Board of Education conceived the ideag our parents votedg architects drew spec- ifications and a new shape appeared in our midst. First they dug, erected a steel framework, and laid bricksg then they poured cement and wired for electricity. Now - the future is here - more athletic facilities, more classrooms, modern science laboratories, better music and drama facilities and art space greet us as we step into the future-graduates.

Plays. as- semblies, pep skits, and concerts have always been a part of OTHS activities. This year was no exception -- even though we were limited to a six-foot stage. The new building will bring a larger stage with dressing and storage rooms. Even with scaffoldings in the halls and clogged drains in the labs, learning continues. Next year Ottawa High will have better equipped science laboratories, a new art studio, and more classrooms. The show - and learning - will go on, and better!
