THE GREATER CITRUS By F. s. HAYDEN Colleges and universities sing about the greater university that they are plan- ning and alumni are justly proud of their institutions. The alumni of Citrus, one of the oldest high schools in the state, also have a rich heritage and a bright future to be proud of. Citrus is nearly twice as old as the University of Chicago and during her academic growth she has built a wonderful school spirit. This spirit has placed her on the A list among the accredited high schools of the state, this spirit has won for her oratorical and debating championships, this spirit has given her a long list of happy and successful alumni. The old school is soon to make an important move. Like the chambered nauti- lus, she has left the past year's dwelling for the new, stole with soft step its shining archway through. 'A The new and greater Citrus had its conception in the minds .of its alumni and the leading men and women of the entire district. The old school could no longer house the growing student body and offer them the modern course of study. Conse- quently, a little over a year ago the citizens of the district voted S300,000 in bonds for a new school upon a new site centrally located at the corner of Ben Lomond and the Foothill Boulevard. The bonds were sold sometime ago, the site purchased and work is about to begin on the new building. E Fronting the boulevard will be two beautiful buildings adorned by artistic entrances, a tower, all joined by arcades of the Spanish Renaissance type. The entire group of buildings will conform to the same type of architecture. These two main buildings will be the Administrative Building and the Auditorium. The Administrative Building will house the offices, the library, and the following depart- ments-science, commerce, history, languages, English and mathematics. The Audi- torium will seat 1200 people, will have a moving picture booth and will be thoroughly modern in every respect. The building will also house the music and art departments. In the rear of the main group of buildings will be the vocational group. The farm mechanics and forge work will have a separate shop building, 4-0 by 60. The woodwork will be cared for in a companion building, 40 by 70. just west of these two buildings will be a 60 by 80 gymnasium with shower baths and dressing rooms. The domestic building, which completes the group, will not be built until the old plant is disposed of. Until that time, the domestic science will be adequately cared for in a temporary bungalow, using the gymnasium for a cafeteria. . When this group is completed Citrus will have as beautiful, as complete and as up-to-date a school as can be found in the Southland. It is now up ton the present students to carry on. Student bodies of the past have accomplished wonders in the old plant. With the new and greater Citrus will come new and greater opportunitiesg students, faculty and alumni must preserve the old traditions and build them into the spirit of the new day. Seven l , I
