Early 1960s View

A new building welcomed students to Lancaster High School in 1956. The 57,000- square- foot school, which broke ground in the summer of 1955, cost $427,000 to build. This view looking west shows the student parking lot in the foreground, teacher parking in the front, both wings of the two-story classroom section, the administrative offices at the front entrance, the auditorium, and the gym. I think I recognize a certain '50 Ford in the parking lot. Does anyone else recognize theirs?

Overhead View

A more inclusive view, but still not shown is the band building at the rear, and the football practice field and track to the left of the gym.
