fllllflllllllll When these Seniors were Freshmen the new building was only a dream. But in the fall of 1946 the dream began to take concrete form. Then in the chilly spring weather of 1947 the men and women of Johnson County gathered on Lincoln's Birthday to vote on bonds for the purpose of erecting an addition to Vienna High School. That the bonds were voted- easily--is a tribute to the real interest which the people of Johnson County have in the educational opportunities of their children. Months passed while blue prints were drawn and finally the bids on construction were 'taken and opened. The weeks that followed were full of disappointment for prices had sky-rocketed and much of the original plan had to be altered. The auditorium, shops and bus garage had to be sacri- ficed, as did additional gymnasium space, before the plans could be whittled down sufficiently to meet the funds on hand. At last the final blue prints were complete and once again bids were taken. The Rust Construction Com- pany of Belleville, Illinois, was awarded the contract and in October, 1948, ground was broken and actual construction began. The year of 1948-1949 was a difficult one but school went on over and around the activities of workmen. This year those Freshmen of 1946 graduate from the completed build- ing. The classes which follow will take the lockers, the cafeteria, the spa- cious halls and pleasant class rooms of the new building for granted but the Class of '50 will always feel that the new building is somehow pe- culiarly their own, and so the lllianna of 1950 attempts to tell the story of the community and the men, the faculty and the student body who planned and worked for and now work and study in the new building .
