power lines in the middle of everything

I took this photo in July 1971 with a little Fujica half-frame camera. Sorry to have done such a bad job with it. At left you see the laundry in the old Forstmann bullpen (still there and still the laundry). In the center, across the field, you see the old Rec Hall (now Margetts Lodge). Behind my mother you can see the edge of the circle of grass we call "the Olympic Circle." Above my mother's head you'll see Hayden Lodge, brand spanking new that summer. It had been an old farm garage and served as the Crafts Shop until '70. In '71 the boys CITs lived in Hayden.

Note the unpaved roads around the Ad Office (which is where I'm taking the pic) and notice the power lines right in the middle of everything. Later they were buried and re-strung up the hill and out of the way.
