WWI ii ult IIR U . Y, , Y llqiiielldl lgllotusle EFORE the Pontiac-Port Huron football game, the new field house was presented to the school district. D. I. Oliver, a public spirited citizen, was the donor of the building. Mr. Oliver presented the keys to Otto Saehse, president of the school board, and Mr. Saehse, on behalf of the high school and the Board of Education, expressed his appreciation for the gift. Mr. Oliver has always been interested in the youth of today and in all kinds of ama- teur athletics, especially clean athletics. Among those who took part in the dedica- tion of the new field house were: Principal F. J. DuFrain, D. I. Oliver, Superintendent James H. Harris, President of the School Board, Otto Sachse, and John Johnstone, Director of Ath- letics. The Pontiac High School Football team, Port Huron Football Team, and the Pontiac High School Band stood in order on the field during the ceremony. Mr. Sachse unveiled a bronze tablet set in the wall of the field house. This tablet names Mr. Oliver as the donor of the gift. The Work on the new field house was pushed rapidly, but it was impossible to have it ready for the Alumni game. The building has all the conveniences that an up-to-date field house should contain. There is a locker room for both the home and visiting teams. There are also shower rooms, a drying room, an ollicials' dressing room, a store room, and a heating plant. This field house has filled L1 long-felt need, and now the visiting teams will always remember Pontiac as a place with sufficient facilities to make the players from out of town comfortable. Without this Held house this service to visiting teams could not be rendered, as the only other showers and locker rooms are at the high school building, which is about one mile from Wisner field. lb I 11 1
