V PU,-y K Q ' i !,l V Via' 'L as X ' .sl svc The Dahlgren Construction Company, general contractors for the new Edmonds Q . , Senior High School, found both a challenge and an inspiration in the design 775 v c, F provided by the architects. High quality workmanship is evident in all parts of the campus. All exterior walls are of precast concrete panels, steel sash with interior glaz- . ing are a feature, with steel used for framing. Abundant use of glass, partic- ., ularly in walls facing the outdoor courts, as shown here, opens the classrooms ff y tothe world outside and brings fresh air and sunlight into every lesson. The I lf ' cam us-st le lan keeps pedestrian traffic moving without congestion Stu- 3 L I L x A P Y P - V f ' dents find that walking through outdoor corridors, even on cold days, brings ' V .l them to classes refreshed and invigorated. fx, L It C N W One-story construction is used throughout, except in a portion of the gymnas- if ,lf V l W ium which has a mezzanine floor devoted primarily to tumbling and gymnasticp' KL, ' 5, A vxgiff activities.

The ancient apple tree is one of the few remaining vestiges of the old orchard which originally occupied the school site. Beyond it is the student store which the distributive educa- tion classes will open in the fall of 1959. It will handle school supplies, primarily, but will also be used for selling other items for student use. At the far end of the leaf-strewn corridor is a sheltered bus-loading ramp. A .
