By the late 1950's, the cam- pus consisted of the math and business wings and the girls gym, which served as Garner Middle School. The English and foreign language wings, which were mainly offices, and the present journalism room, which was the kitchen and cafeteria, made up the high school. The boys gym was used as the audi- torium. ln 1960, the present auditorium and cafeteria were constructed. As the seventies began, the administrative wing and library were built, creating the courtyard that is now the heart of the campus. Coming out of the English wing one could catch a glimpse of the new mar- quee, on which current events were posted. In this painting of the Brahma mascot in the foyer of the audito- rium, one could see the school the way it was in 1961, when the new auditorium was completed, and before construction of the administrative wing. ,.
