Historical Reflections


For several years, the junior wood shop class at Cook County High School built a small building in the spring. But in 1975, instead of seeing a group of boys working on the project, there were 12 girls! Shown holding the board for Dusty Johnson are, from left, Karen Jurek and Paula Sundet. Standing on the ladder is Becky Beckwith; on the roof from left are Sandy Skrien and Ann Bushman. The 10-by-12-foot building has two windows and one door, and it was already sold before construction was finished. Cook County News-Herald archives
