Our Studio This beautiful school is the body of all the fine achievements of our students. One seems to be inspired just by looking at the sturdy, gray building, surrounded by spacious grounds. In warm weather many pupils can be seen strolling around our lovely campus. The familiar old elm tree at the corner of the school grounds is seen, and also within vision is the flagpole. Over the mammoth entrance our famous motto, For the Service of Humanity is seen. One sometimes gazes upon the cornerstone bearing the number which shows our building was built in the year 1910. This, our studio, is the open door of opportunity to future success. —3—
