In 1951, the legislature appropriated $200,000 for the construction of a new Gymnasium but because of the Korean War, steel was unavailable and subsequent government regulations prohibited what little steel was available to be used for recreational facilities. By 1955, it was possible to go ahead with the Gymnasium. The plan chosen was similar to Cyprus High School, with some modifications, and an added $260,000 was appropriated. After problems and deficits, the new Gymnasium was started on the southwest corner of 700 east and 300 south. It was completed in time for the 1957-58 school year, the first building erected on the new campus. |
