The first bell of a new week announced the beginning of a three year construction project for ‘i 298 sophomores. The final plase, begun in 1972, was also instituted for 306 seniors. The projected building plans for 354 juniors were accomplished and phase two was be¬ gun on the said date. Various methods of construction were employed rang¬ ing from athletics to academics. Local I materials were used extending in size d from three feet to seven feet. Colors included black, white, yellow, and red. The personality of the materials gave the building a unique taste ranging from contemporary modern to medieval gothic. Work at the site was directed by construction crew fore¬ man, Mr. Charles Kurtz. Construction was designed to continue from Lee i into a normal life span. The building was planned to be one of an ingenious design.

School spirited people labored at making posters, promotion, selling. distributing, and simply participating. Time passed and the great variety of the two extremes rubbed, mixed, and jelled. The final product was a Leeman. ! 4—A Building of Ingenious Design
