Then comes the gym, a haven for the athleticly inclined for over four years. Here brain and brawn meet in a never ending conflict. It proves a matchless retreat with its modern equip- ment as well as its imposing modern architectural splendor. In keeping with the dignity of the gym is the new addition to the school. In planning this enlargement provision was made for an inner court so that as many rooms as possible might have a south exposure. The new rooms have the latest idea of ventilation and light. They are equipped with sunlight win- dows which cover at least all of one side of the room. The new rooms have floors of beautiful inlaid hardwood. Even the fur- niture is of the latest design, light oak and is built on low, broad lines. This new addition has relieved all the congestion a n d be- sides this, practically all organizations have a meeting room. The debate and declama- tion teams have their room as does also the Huacoan. Daisy Chain, and Student Commission. There is even a sanctuary for the student teachers t h a t come from Baylor Univer- sity to train for the teaching profession. Classic within and classic without, that is Waco High. Above a well filled trophy case hangs an ancient Grecian plaque. A motif beloved by every loyal Waco High student, the tiger head, is portrayed in the gym entrance. Ed and co-ed both, hover in its alcoves. Here the Tigers get their first inspiration for adding new laurels to the Gold and White. nl-nd

Jack Frost adds his lustre also to Waco's scholastic mecca. His final touch makes this stateliest and oldest tree of the grounds a veri- table Hdream tree. With his magic Wand the ice king takes control and dresses up the dear old building in such Winter frumpery that even the seniors marvel at his power. Dearest of landmarks are fretted and etched with the snow that seems careless of everything but the business of creating beauty. And so business of getting educated goes on-in a splendid building Where every up- to-date device speeds the eager student on to higher things.
