Construction Started On New Gym, Library The construction going o'n behind the school is a dream of many years and at last is about to materialize. The quiet rou tine of school life was broken October 20 when the sound of trucks and steam shovels were heard. Although these sounds will disturb the students in the classes to a certain extent, it will be music to their ears too, because they mean that a new library and gym are being started at last. Flans fr the new school rooms and gym were made last "Green Valley," an exciting new comedy-fantasy in three acts by Frank Wattron, is to be presented by Thespian troupe number 954 of Ashland Senior High School, under the direc tion of Miss Laura M. Grubbs, at 8 o'clock Thursday evening. December 5, in the senior high auditorium. A special student performance is scheduled for the evening of December 4. The novel setting for this fascinating new comedy Is tiny, picturesque Green Val ley, nestled away In the Call- fomia hills. For a hundred years, the Berry family has owned this.

Prim Stokes (Janice Carter), the vital native girl, in love with Eldon, didn't believe it . until the pale shadow of long-dead Lonesome Berry (Bill Finnell) abruptly ma terialized. And neither did greedy Everheel comprehend until Prudence (Carol Cragle), a witch-girl from the Golden days, led him stumbling and gaping to the awe-invoking Garden of Green Valley. Even studious Martha Mears (Janet Saltus), of the local Historical Society wasn't convinced until almost too late. Ghostly figures pop up all over the place, there is Granny Berry (Sarah Wilson), Calhoun Berry (Wayne Hinkson), Jeb Berry (Richard Lamb), and Ran some (Bob Williams).

This was the go-ahead for the building of the new school. i Mr. Parks says he believes that the new gym will be fin ished by spring. If so, the class of '53 will go down in history as being the first class to have the privilege and honor of graduating from the new gym.
