R: Yes.

P: Two stories, [was there] plenty of room?

R: You know, we got off to a good start in that building.

P: The [building] had an auditorium?

R: Yes, it had an auditorium; it had a lot of things.

P: And it was conveniently located.

R: Yes.

P: And your administrative offices were where?

R: Well, until Buchholz was remodeled, they were in the old post office building. The
 county made that available.

P: And the old post office building is what?

R: It is still standing. It is off the square, down at the foot of Main Street.

P: It is where the Hippodrome [State Theater] is now.

R: Yes, where the Hippodrome is now. That is it.

P: I just wanted to identify it. I know where it is.

R: You are right, Sam. That is where it is, at the Hippodrome Theater.

P: It is on SE 1st Street.

R: Right. You dead end into it, as a matter of fact.

P: We will use the Hippodrome as our identification point, and the administrative
 offices were there.

R: [This is where] we were planning, and getting ready, and hiring, and getting off the
 ground. The minute we knew we were going to be in operation and going, then the
 school board made Bucholz available to us and we rushed to get it remodeled and
 fixed up.

P: Okay, Buchholz is the classroom building. When it was ready and open for classes,
 did the administrative offices move there?
