Growth-a key word in any learning situation, has r been the crux of T ascosa High School activities in t its one short decade of existence. A population explosion which exceeded all expec- g g tations has blown Tasc0sa's enrollment from the s original 1209 to today,s 2200. To accommodate these increasing numbers, classrooms have expanded from the initial 48 to 66 within the building and ten port- able two-room annexes. An original Rebel' faculty of 52 has now become 93 strong. Changes have also marked the curriculum itself as advanced courses in sciences, math and English have been added and job courses now provide stu- dents with working experience, coupled with class- room study. Q Growth-a key word in any situation, has helped g T HS become a wide pathway for all Rebels.

Decode Of Progress A framework of steel, truckloads of sand and ce- ment, a tower of bricks and countless panes of glass, the Home of the Rebels came into being September, 1958. Opening its door that fall to 1209 students, this complex combination of construction materials and high ideals has since harboured over 7,500 Rebels. The hallways and classrooms, once seemingly spa- cious, were hit by the first Rebeland population boom in 1962. It created a need for the construction of the now-familiar south wing. Nourished by increasing numbers of Rebels each year, THS has far exceeded its original physical limitations. Ten annexes are now sandwiched between the wings to absorb its overflowing classes. Two were added in the fall of 1963, three in 1964, one in 1965 and four this year. Senior gifts enhancing the Rebel institution have included mosaics, trophy cases, flag poles, a sundial, the Home of the Rebelsn sign and a painting of Mr. Lynch. With these offerings, each class etched its special year into the grain of THS. Tascosa was constructed 10 years ago . . . a build- ing of steel, sand, cement and brick in the beginning. It now lives not only as a school but as a memory composed of good and bad, successes and failures, laughter and tears . . . An end . . . and a beginning. I is t , - , . 5 , W . 4 .
