Historical Reflections








Work was under way on a new football field at Cook County High School when this photo was taken in October 1960. The plans for the new field were based on those used at Wisconsin State College at Superior, at a cost of $10,000. The old field was 4½ feet higher at one end than at the other and kept pushing up sharp volcanic rock, which actually made it dangerous to play on. Shown looking over the progress are Cat driver Tom Allard and high school principal Leonard Sobanja.
