Our Most Beautiful Campus Scene A student walking out of this front door of the auditorium will glimpse a concrete esplanade with his own American flag flying from a pole in the center. Magnolia trees border the court, and the center is landscaped with palms, shrubs, and flowering plants. This student, as he catches a glimpse of his flag flying high over the entire campus, senses a pride he shares with his fellow students in his school, his country, and his flag, a pride that can never be destroyed.
