For the Eagle Scouts
Nette Bridges the Gap 

Junior Alex Nette puts the final touches on the new five-step staircase leading from the Haycock parking lot, to the senior lot. Nette, along with fellow juniors Chad O'Hara, Nathan Ballou, John Sullivan, and Andrew Roller, completed the much-needed stairs, which Principal Bob Snee has wanted for many years, in a mere 9 hours. "The steps cost a total of $3,000 to make, although it would have cost $10,000 if it were professionally built," estimated Nette, who designed the staircase. Nette was motivated to build this long-awaited staircase to earn an Eagle Scouts badge, so he can "get into college." The project was supervised by Nette's father, who is a construction manager for a major company. Principal Snee is very grateful: "Thank goodness we finally got that staircase built. I'm very please, and I will always think of Alex Nette when I ascend and descend those steps." (Photo by: Mett Meyer)    5/26/04
