CAMPUS AND The Prep campus is on two levels, which naturally separate the campus into two parts. Sports and academics are thus physi- cally separated with the academic facilities overlooking the athletic field and the new gym. Future years will see a new swim- ming pool on the lower level. With the opening of the new building early in 1962, Prep gained a new study- hall, library, and laboratory. Flintridge now has two well-equipped laboratories to be used for biology, chemistry and phys- ics. The library contains fourteen thousand volumes arranged in both open and closed stacks. «fc S Tall trees, lawn-flanked walks, and an outdoor lunch area help provide the stu- dent with fresh air and sunshine. The campus, located against the Sierra Madre foothills, enjoys many more smogless days and blue skies than most other parts of Southern California. The mountain setting gave birth to the school nickname — the Highlanders. 54
