Laurel Oaks Masonry students are constructing two dugouts at East Clinton High School under the direction of instructor Shawn Wilkin. On October 29, senior Masonry students began work on the larger dugout, which is 36 feet long and has an eight-foot square storage building on the south end. The dugout has two eight-foot long return walls, each of which is eight-feet high in front and slopes to seven-feet, four inches in back.

The juniors began work on a slightly smaller dugout on October 31. Their project is 32-feet long, with two six-foot return walls, the same height as the larger dugout. Mr. Wilkin reports that the students will cut the return walls with a rake so that students in Tom Bixler’s Construction Framing and Finishing Technologies classes can apply the roofs. Target date for completion is mid-November.
