The quiet elegance and heauty of the Girls' Social Room and the sturdy comfort of the Boys' Club Room serve as effective hackgrounds for many activities. In these rooms the young men and women of Lindblom have developed a social ease and poise as valuable to them in later life as lessons learned in the classroom.
