After months of waiting and planning, we moved into 'the new school in September of 1958. We remember how we gazed from the windows of the old school to watch, with great anticipation, progress in the building of the new school. We didn't realize then that some of the old haunts would mean so much to us after we were gone. The study hall where we met every morning before schoolg the gym, and how we under- classmen longed for the day when we, as seniors,Could sit in the balconyg and the little hill in front ofthe school where we loafed away noon hours during warm weather will always be among our memories. Hour-long classes, hand bells, and the general confusion of newness multiplied the excitement of the usual first day of school, as we moved into the new S. H. S. building. Anew situation called for new routines. We never knew during the first few days when we were going to have a noon hour. The same crew of cooks that had served the high school struggled to serve both the junior and senior highs. Many students were still in line waiting to eat when school had begun after the noon hour. New cooks were hired and new schedules made to accommodate the huge number. By the end of the week, that tardiness excuse wouldn't work. 6

RIGHT: Studentreporterchecks statistics inthe coach'soffice After the confusion had subsided and the daily schedule was arranged, we more fully realized the opportunities and facilities which the new building offered to us as students of Sullivan High. Bigness was the first thing we noticed. Could we possibly get from one end of the building to the other without roller skates? With larger offices and classrooms, a much-improved coach's room, a huge gym with room for two P. E. classes at once, anda library with room for 120, everyone had elbow room. The new library did duty as study hall and library combinedg studying became more efficient with books and information at our fingertips. Administration offices, almost double their area in the old building, at last gave room for the necessary files and supplies. Even the intercom, with its com- plicated gadget-panel, could not overwhelm the wide open spaces of this central-control site. A walk-in vault not only preserved school records and accounts securely but also made an emergency film-changing dark room for RETROSPECT photographers. Adjoining the offices was the health room. off-limits to students, which served as a refuge for teachers retreating from the action of classrooms to the action of typing, making tests, and dittoing. At least they had coffee and cokes to sustain them. I
