Gym Construction Silhouette watches over construction Amidst the droning noises emitted by the power drills and hammers, and the scaffolds being erected and disassembled, Warren’s students stared - some in awe, some in indignation - at the sight of the first-time renovation that occurred in the south gymnasium. Along with hydraulic bleachers which will seat 3,606, new backboards, and a press box, a new organ installed on the south side added pizzazz to basketball and volleyball games, and any other happening in the gym. Earlier discussions concerning the form of the Warren Warrior to be painted on the wall of the gym came to a close when it was decided that the warrior should be a repetitive silhouette on the south wall, painted in red, orange, and yellow. Student reactions to this matter varied greatly, from: “I think it’s great!” to “They should’ve done it sooner.” to “What construc- tion?” Assistant Superintendent of School Facilities, Mr. John D. Porter, stated, “The original concept of the construction wasn’t started on time. We’re not trying to put the blame on anyone. It took considerable time to draw plans and get approvals.” Having accepted this fact, some students tried their utmost to squeeze into the locker room. Along with 2 or 3 gym classes an hour, students involved in athletics also had to make use of the cramped quarters. When finished, the new Sports Arena provided a new array of fascination for the student body and the public for many years to come. Bricking it.
