Was the school originally named Astro Heights because of the shape of the new building? I've only seen it on this old message board run by the Fish & Game department:

"Four High Schools in Four Years...
Four High Schools in Four Years...all in the SAME BUILDING!
Started H.S. as a Freshman, fall of 1965, Hooper Cardinals.
Hooper consolidated with Uehling the following year. My Sophomore year we were simply known as Hooper-Uehling Consolidated Schools. Classes for 9-12 were held in the Hooper High School, the Uehling kids were bussed to Hooper... (Yeah, we had "bussing" in the 60's... right here in small town Nebraska!)
The new school being built at the top of the hill was in the shape of a cross with a large circular gymnasium at the top of the keyhole, and smaller circular pods at either end of the "cross"...sorta looked like Battlestar Galactica. Spent my Junior year under the ignominous title of "Astro Heights" (You can imagine what our rivals from Scribner called us!) Still attended classes in the old Hooper H.S. building.
Graduated Class of '70 as the last class to graduate from the old Hooper H.S. building, the first to graduate under a new name and mascot as the Logan View Raiders!
And you wonder why I'm confused?"
