CLASSICAL AND THE CITY 5

Classical is not just classrooms and cafeterias. It is not merely an old building; it is an antique having curious qualities. Notice the silhouette of a boy and girl studying, to be found over the door of room 232. Even the outside of Classical has character. Every day four angels, perched between the doors, welcome you to school. Classical keeps up with the times, of course. Modern technology has invaded our school in the form of copy machines, intercom systems, and even acomputer. No two school days are alike, but some things can be counted on. Lockers regularly spill books to the ground when the doors are opened. Traumatic searches for keys occur every day. Pens dry up and term papers get wrinkled in the rain. The candy machine refuse to give up its gum. Fire drills seem to come in the middle of tests, and substitutes usually appear when least expected.

People make school what it is: Not only the administration, the faculty, and the students, but those who are less known. Who are these people? At lunchtime we eat. We may have alunch prepared for us by our competent kitchen staff, or we may prefer to dine else- where. Under the “golden arches,’’ a Big Mac may dissipate our hunger. Ora meal, graciously served by Walter, at the Water Wheel might be more to our taste. There are others related to school whom we take for granted. The policeman daily halts traffic so that we may cross State Street. The busdrivers carry busloads of boisterous students reluctantly to and eagerly from school. The hardhats, too, are a daily sight as they work on the Chestnut Park redevelopment project. Classical is a part of the community. Students, teachers, the people and places who surround it, all make it the place that it is.
