An athletic field named Emmond Field was constructed in 1888, and a 1926–1929 expansion included a clock tower, auditorium, offices, library, and a gym. Leonard H. Vaughan (president of a seed company and former school board president,[5]) funded the construction of the Vaughan Building; it was constructed in 1949 for sporting events and classes. In 1956, South Campus was opened about a mile south-west in nearby Western Springs to accommodate the community's growing population. The Corral was constructed in 1944 as a social place for all students to spend time with each other after school hours. In 2005, a performing arts center, a field house, and a pool were added to the South campus to complement the facilities at the North campus.[6][7] AthleticsAt LTHS girls compete in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, diving, tennis, lacrosse, track and field, volleyball, badminton, softball and water polo.
