OKC has a new stretch of I-40 replacing the
current crosstown freeway.
I used it for the first time Friday and it is most unique.
We took a long walk in today, sightseeing in our
own town, one of ourfavorite things to do.
Here is a picture of the

Northwest Classen High School History
Northwest Classen High School was built in 1955 to meet the growing need for educational facilities in northwest Oklahoma City. It was designed after a committee of architects and administrators visited and studied forty schools in seven states. The final architechure plan was made by Hudgins, Thompson, Ball and Associates, and construction was performed by the Builders Company. The building was first opened on September 3, 1955 with 10th, 11th and 12th grades. The 9th grade were admitted when the second wing was completed in 1956. Enrollment in 1956 was 2,002.
