HENRY A. PAGE STADIUM

WITH funds provided by the C. W. A. and the F. E. R. A., DeVilbiss High School's football stadium was erected at an approximate cost of $30,000.  Work was begun on the stadium in February, 1934, and the last bit of work was completed on September 12P 1934.

On the eve of September 14, 1934, before the start of the opening Point Place football game, the stadium was formally dedicated in an impressive ceremony at which Betty Hartman presided as Dedication Queen.  The stadium is now called Henry A. Page Stadium in honor of Henry A. Page, one of Toledo's prominent business men.

Henry A. Page Stadium holds 7,769 people-2,907 people in the South Stands, 2,942 people in the North Stands, and 970 people in each of the two end bleachers.  There are five light posts on each side of the football field which give light to the capacity of 80,000 watts,

The contract of Page Stadium was let to Watts-Suhrbier Co. which let contracts to the Kuhlman Builders Supplies Co.,'Art Iron and Wire Co., and the Toledo Cut Stone Co.

Colonel Shetler was in charge of the work when the C. W. A. was in force; Lt.  Thompson held sway when work was being done by F. E. R. A. men.
