The new water tank on the hill makes it possible to get a drink anytime now. Over S9l,OOO has been in- vested in many needed improve- ments around our campus in the past year. The football field has been enhanced by adding new lighting system, new fences, rest- rooms, and the field itself was resodded during the summer. The Juniors and Seniors were glad to have the new concession stand at the south end of the field. Glare was removed from the eyes of long suffering teachers and students on the south side of the high school when new metal blinds were installed. A new baseball field, new ten- nis courts and the modern field house on the football practice field have added much to our sport department. The horn tooters say they really appreciate the asphalt tile on the band room floor. Makes a nicer place for 7:30 a.m. practice sessions. Autumn, 1956, found the third graders housed in shiny new rooms iust north of the high school buildings. I5 4 l -sl
