winner on the basis of improve
ment and beautification which
was shown in a special scrapbook.

The north grove was completed
this past Saturday by those stu

Inside the brick border, pale riv
er gravel is spread. This gravel
consists of two textures. Around
the outside the gravel is large,
while on the inside it is smaller.
Inside and around the side of the
grove are several planting boxes
of shrubs and trees. Only a few
more hushes are to be added. In
the center of the grove is a large
boulder. A plaque has not yet been
set in the rock, but will be done
soon.
Near the cafeteria is a brick
patio which was donated by the
Senior Class. Benches will soon
be added. Also as its project the
Senior Class donated some plant
ing boxes.
Mr. Manley C. Lewis was the
architect who drew up and re
vised the plans to the grove. Bo
ren Clay Products Company do
nated 12,000 bricks which would
have cost approximately $450.
Part of the gravel was provided
for by Lewis Concrete Company.
Mr. Eugene A. Gulledge, Keith’s
father, supervised and coordinated
the brick laying, grading, and the
building of the steps. Superior
