“The next time I’m teaching in a building that they’re renovating. I’m going to quit!’’ (Mr. Gersmehl) The Reconstruction Era brought transition and inconveniences during each of the three years seniors attended South. When they did not have to grope through dark tunnels, they had to follow mazes of detours. Nauseating odors penetrated the rooms, forcing some classes to resume study elsewhere . . . some¬ times outdoors. Eyes watered and sneezes resounded as occasional clouds of dust from a newly disas¬ sembled wall filled rooms. Layers of the whitish substance made desks less than inviting to sit in. Seniors often got lost in the once- familiar building; rooms acquired new numbers, restrooms were beyond locating, and labs disappeared. Frus¬ tration mounted when late-comers flew to old sites of clocks, only to see bare wall ... or one stuck on 3:42. Loud whistling, clanging hammers, shattering glass, and shrill cries became common. Even all the obsta¬ cles in the halls—lamp posts, doors, cement blocks, fresh workers, wires —became “old hat.’’ And no one grew to love the extended school day, caused by classroom shortage. 3 , WT. ABOVE —Too many cooks spoil the soup; too many workers merely get in each other’s way as they finish a section of wall. UPPER RIGHT —Stone benches and wire fencing are among the many new improvements added to enhance the school’s beauty. RIGHT —Topless bodies perched atop tall ladders aren’t a strange sight to see as Archers dodge obstacles between classes. Reconstruction Era Brings Labyrinth to South ' s Halls
