State Normal Grounds Hustle With 90000 Shrubs And New Open Air Rooms
The State Normal school received more than 6000 flowering and ornamental shrubs and plans to plant them around the athletic field on the grounds. These include red and yellow dogwood, honeysuckle, barberry, mallow, spirea, sumach and many hardy roses. Over 50000 shrubs now grow or are being planted on campus. Lilacs on the newer campus sections are budding this spring after protection from water restrictions, and recent plantings follow a red and yellow bark color scheme. Outdoor school rooms will replace walls with dense shrub hedges for quiet study areas. The athletic field improvements include sodded embankments, a doubled steel grand stand capacity, and a 75 foot steel flagstaff. Next year the Girls and Boys Athletic associations plan bungalows at opposite corners of the field. The grounds host thousands of blooming bulbs and trees from temperate zones, offering a rich plant collection for visitors.
