We outgrew it. Homerooms and study halls were being held in the auditorium, and it was a neat trick to write legibly with your knees for a desk. Crowded classrooms might have been cozy but quite limited in most other respects. What’s more, the ninth grade was to be added to the senior high, and that did it. As the time drew dose, some of us felt a little wistful. It had been good here. For a lot of us it had been good for our parents, too. And what about our own memories? Memories? Yes, happy, funny, some not so funny, proud ones, all kinds. But memories you don’t leave anywhere; you and they are inseparable. On September 2, 1958, we moved in. We found that our new schoolhouse was young and gay, and so were our hearts! 4

'pcnAt Scoo ft £,4 it4l — IT SEEMED A LONG WAY OFF . . . Above: David Andersen, president of the sophomore class which was destined to become the first graduating class of the new high school in 1959, poses with the first shovelful of dirt. Also on hand for the occasion were left to right: Mr. Kenneth E. Buhrmaster, president of the Board of Education; Barbara Giannelli, class treasurer; Dr. Leo Casey, former Assistant Superintendent; Helen Herzig’ class vice-president; Mr. Donald M. Letts, principal of Scotia-Glenville High School; David Anderson; Mr. William H. Martin’ Superintendent of Schools; and Janet Robinson, class secretary. All students pictured are presently candidates for graduation Class of '59. THEN, IT WAS HERE . . . From the first shovelful of earth, as seen in the above reprint from the 1957 Acropolis, through the phases of heavy construc- tion as pictured in the 1958 Acropolis, finally emerged our two- story building, designed to accommodate about 1000 students. Ready, but not quite finished! Carpenters, painters, electricians, landscapists, worked right on after the opening of school. Shops, gymnasium, auditorium and music rooms were the least finished areas. Mr. Letts, our principal, complimented everyone for the patience and good humor shown throughout the weeks of in- convenience.
