Elder – The Pit

The Power of One Student

The Pit – Summer of 1937

Photo taken by a faculty member during the construction of the first concrete stands in The Pit. 

Robert Bange ’37 designed these stands during his senior year at Elder 1936-1937 and built them with all volunteer help.

This photo shows the ramp that was used to wheel the wheelbarrows of concrete up to the top of the seat forms. Concrete trucks were backed off Regina Avenue.
