With the ad- ministration and science halls occupied, Wilson stu- dents are under cover, with the exception of the physical education and the band departments. • The handicaps in securing funds from the gov- ernment has been slow, and state earthquake laws are vigorous. After the codes went into effect, prices changed completely, making bond finance insuffi- cent for the plans of reconstrution. Thus, delay was prevelant. • Now, however, tons of solid concrete, steel beams, safety devices, are molded together in the greater Wilson of today. Built on the same plan as before, the buildings are containers of a strange thrill to those who have longed to be in them. • Science, Home Arts — Moon, Lowry, Shallenberger, March, Larsen, Dcnman, Tibby, Hunt, Olmsted, Symonds, Dunkle.

• New Buildings . . . The wandering nomads of Wilson are home again! Adapting themselves to any situation, Wilson seniors return to the first mode of civilization ... the shining reconstructed buildings. • After the quake two years ago, these wandering tribes took up abode under blue skies, brisk breezes, and the burning heat of the sun in the patio. With improvised canvas tops, trees, and umbrellas for housing facilities, classes were held daily. Then came Tent City with all of its minor and major functions. Perhaps no other school in history has had more varied experience than this. And the seniors are th? only ones remaining who can relate the story. ® The dazzling new buildings with their soft green coats of paint, their real glass windows, wide halls, • Math, Commercial — Bakkcn, I.

With the same crude structures of last year, flemishing inadequate classrooms and offices, ad- ministrators, faculty, and students have marched victoriously through the Red Sea. Enveloped by shrouds of fog. drenched by heavy rains, dried by hot mid-day sunlight, whipped about by strong winds, and choked by smoke . . . until another week of rain . . . Wilson has come out undaunted. • Fired by the inspirational leadership of Princi- pal Harry J. Moore, Wilson moved through the two years of reconstruction with rapid progress and un- tiring activity. This informal atmosphere, has been all-important in maintaining the morale of the stu- dent body under such trying conditions. % Social Studies. Sophomore English Social Studies — Eggenberg- cr, J.
