TAKING “IT. EASY in his newly-acquired summer home is Lorne MacLure of Castlegar, the successful bidder when trustees of School District No. 9 decided to offer the project to organizationz or the general public, for bids over the minimum price of $3,000. The home was built by senior vocational students at SHSS. Helping Mr. MacLure to set the scene for the years of relaxation in the home are, from left to right, A. Bigsby, vocational instructor and students, Phillip Zibin, Georg Pereversoff, Dwayne Hartson, George Plotnikoff, and John Milosovich. The zealous students vigorously polish railings, brasswork and the fortunate buyer's shoes. — Castlegar News Photo
