Description

In 1939, an athletic field was added to the high school facilities. Funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the amount of $3,190.00, workers completed the construction of game fields, bleachers, drives and fences. Landscaping and tree plantings were also planned. Although largely finished, a new grant was sought in the fall of 1939 to finish the project.
