FACULTY PRI INICIPALS MESSAGE The year of T966-67 marked the end of one era and the beginning of another in the lite of Poly. Plans for a new educational plant and the ultimate demolition of Paly as we now know it were started this year. The new plant is scheduled to open in September, 1969. T966-67 is the last school year in which normal housing conditions will exist until the old building is demolished and the new buildings are complete. The next normal school year will be T969-70. At the time of completion of our new facility, the present sophomores will be Paly alumni, Gone will be our beautiful Spanish ar- chitecture, the Campanile Tower, Room lA with its beamed and paneled ceiling, Hol- lywood and Vine, and Gold Star Memorial, the outdoor theater, 'l-lad Ray Field, Ge- orge Stewart gymnasium, the south park- ing lot, the noisy steam pipes, the musty halls, the leaky roofs and Ma cat, Replacing old Paly will be a new mod- ern, air-conditioned, sound-proofed, car- peted, two-story building with auxiliary facilities comfortably housing T500 stu- dents. lt will reflect such trends as modular scheduling, team teaching, large and small group instruction, movable walls, resource centers, independent study facilities, faculty offices and work rooms and a student activity center in a new design for education.
