Our “playground” is now known as “the can- nons.” In 1954 a new gym was constructed and in 1960 a million dollar lab wing includ- ing a new cafeteria was added. In 1967. a fire of undetermined origin burned out the entire shop area — Rooms 111 and 112. The fire, spreading up through the windows, also damaged Rooms 212, 312. and 313 before it was brought under control. Mr. John Moses explains that the fire doors and the fire proof ceiling in the shop prevented the blaze from destroying the entire Harding Road building, classes were canceled for two days after the fire and the Industrial Arts Shop remained inoperative for an entire year. An unplanned remodeling job occurred at this time with the rebuilding of the Industrial Arts Shop as a Building Trades area. In the next ten years, lack of space caused the Board of Education to rent four portable classrooms which were constructed on the Branch Avenue lawn.
