The grounds: no team's grounds course is documented — the diamonds are the parks file's

ITEM 4 · TRUE SIZE AT THE RECORD'S STRENGTH; THE SETTLERS NAMED

The checklist wants each team's grounds told as a course — the field's building, its lights, its named stands — and for Glenn's programs the record this run reached carries no such course for any team. The town's documented diamonds and fields belong to the parks file (Scarbrough Park's baseball furniture, Parks) and to the school's plant course in Schools (the campus and its gymnasium at building strength); neither carries the sports-specific course — no opening of a named football field, no lights-first-night, no bleacher campaign, no field house dedication stands in the sources reached, and no team's grounds are named for a coach, a donor, or a season in the record as it stands. The item closes at TRUE SIZE with its settlers named rather than its silence filled: the school board's minutes and the Independent's sports pages across 1968–2026 hold whatever grounds course exists (a field christened in a board motion is exactly the class of fact those records keep), and the Heritage Museum's custody, printed in the survival article below, is where its photographs would live. What prints is the absence, located precisely: not "the grounds are unknown," but "no grounds course is documented in the records reached, and these two records would carry it."

Principal sources: Parks (Scarbrough's diamonds); Schools (the plant course); the board minutes and Independent sports pages named as settlers.
