J W STANDLEY, Principal Keeper of the key that unlocked the Tolleston treasure chest-the chest that contained the students' school life. NEW BUILDING AND SYSTEM Two years ago, students, faculty, and parents heard about a new system and saw blueprints of a new building-ToIIeston's new building. Ah! Dreams beginning to come true. With the coming of bulldozers, bricklayers, car- penters, electricians, and other workmen, what had been iust a gleam in everyone's eye began to come true. Today the blueprint stands as a twelve room reality. The rooms are modem with tile walls, green boards, light-colored matching furniture, fiuorescent lighting, and large windows. Aside from the attractiveness of the new addi- tion, the practical purpose for it was certainly put to good use since the former congested conditions were somewhat alleviated. All of the intermediate grade IeveI were housed in one building, the home economics department was enlarged, and the number of classes convening in the portable was greatly reduced. As an accessory to the new building, Tolleston experimented with a new system of class hours and student programs.
