HARTINGTON — The Cedar Catholic High School addition was dedicated and blessed this afternoon (Wednesday) by His Excellency Archbishop Gerald T. Bergan. Archbishop Bergan was assisted in the dedication ceremonies by Rt.
Rev. Msgr. Edward J. McCaslin, vice-chancellor, and The Very Rev.
Raymond Auer V.R., Dean of the Hartington Deanery.
The public is invited to attend an open house at the new school Sunday afternoon, according to an announcement by Rev. John A. Flynn, superintendent of the school.
Bids on the new construction were opened on June 16, 1964, and construction began on July 9. The architect for the new building was James E. Loftus of Omaha. Carl A. Goth, Mechanical Engineer of Omaha, provided the mechanical plans. Regulate inspections were made by Wesley Ptack of the James Loftus office.
The Hoesing Brothers Construction Company of Hartington, lowest of five general contractors bidding on the project, was awarded the contract for $123,700. The mechanical contract for $43,349 was awarded to Kathol Plumbing and Heating Company of Hartington and the electrical contract of $13,443 was awarded to the Kruger-Ihle Electrical Company of Norfolk.
The total bids amounted to $180,492. This was a record low bid for construction of this type, as it amounted to just a little under $9.00 per square foot. The addition is of reinforced concrete, Hadite block and face brick construction. The exterior brick, provided by Sioux City Brick and Tile Company, is of buff color that matches the previously existing Trinity High School building. The two buildings have been joined so that the halls of one become a continuation of the hall of the other.
The facade is offset by the use of precast aggregate of a light green texture set into the window areas, giving the building a colorful front.
Exterior doors are all metal, as are all window castings. Floor covering is asphalt tile set in various patterns of soft colors. Faced brick in stacked bond with raked joints sets off the terrazzo lobby floor.
The interior of the building is done throughout in mist green and saddle tan. The office area is completely glass enclosed, providing visual contact between the office and the corridor. It is located to the left of the main entrance and includes the business office, the superintendent’s office, the principal’s office, the guidance office, an office supply room and a vault for storage of all past records.
Equipment for all the offices was supplied by Norfolk Office Equipment and features Bentson desks and files. Also included in the business office is an “L” shaped counter with 22 feet of surface equipped with formica top, metal front, recessed secretary’s desk and undercounter files, providing facilities to take care of several students at one time.
