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

MERELY SOCIAL Other social activities take place at Flintridge throughout the year besides the four annual class dances. Sports events and private parties help fill out the season. The football players attended parties at the Manildi ' s and Slocum ' s resi- dences, for example. This year the Letterman ' s Club Play is planned, and other activities of this type make for a busy year. r Profound concentration — checking out the surfers. Chas., what have you been filching? 53

CURRICULUM Possibly the most important asset of Flintridge is its small classrooms. Indi- vidual instruction and attention plus a closer student-teacher relationship rank Flintridge as one of the top secondary schools in the nation. Emphasis is placed on college preparation and high academic standards. Prep has a fine library-study hall de- signed to help the student in his work and to cultivate extracurricular interests. Books in French, Latin, and Spanish are available as well as a wide range of English books — from semantics to the Elizabethan stage. These books introduce the student to re- sources and techniques of research as well as to the world of literature. Advance placement courses in physics and calculus are the goal of every Prep mathematics major, while U.S. Government and other history courses are offered for the liberal arts major. Four years of lan- guage are also available, and four years of English are compulsory in the high school. Sports play an important part in Prep life as the student is given both physical and mental exercises. From golf to football, from physics to English, Prep has a well- rounded curriculum. 55
