Caloosahatchian Yearbook 1936 – Bud Baker

Forward – If, in this annual, the staff of ’36 can help to cast a backward glance over many pleasant, carefree hours spent in M.H.S. and cause us to live again those happy days of youth, we have reached our goal.

Environment

Architectural wisdom and design philosophy reflect how our indoor spaces serve as the backdrop for our lives, shaping our moods, behaviors, and overall well-being.

Whoever you are: step out of doors tonight,
Out of the room that lets you feel secure.
Infinity is open to your sight.
Whoever you are.”

Independence

Thanks to J & D for the great 2022 street party,

It seemed as if this were the Loom of Time, and I myself were a shuttle mechanically weaving & weaving away at the Fates; and here, thought I, with my own hand I ply my own shuttle and weave my own destiny into these unalterable threads.

Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station

Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.

The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.

The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.

The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).
