The Community Build-out of 1923

A large crowd turned out last Saturday to help in the work of preparing the grounds at the new high school for a lawn and outdoor games. A great deal was accomplished, but as there was much gravel and dirt to be moved and other work to be done, it could not all be completed in one day and it was decided to ask everyone to turn out again on Saturday of this week to finish the job. The gravel taken from the basement is being moved into the low spots and this is all being covered with good soil. When finished, the ground will slope gradually from the front and both sides of the school building. The entire five acres was fenced on the back and both sides with smooth wire and an attractive fence is to be built across the front. All of the five acres is to be plowed, harrowed and made as nearly level as possible. There is plenty of room back of the school building for baseball, football, track and even tennis. Everyone who helped in any way is to be commended, for the work that is being done is really constructive and it is hoped that a large enough crowd turns out Saturday to finish the job. If this can be done, it is estimated that the taxpayers in the district will have saved at least $600.
