Ca m Buildings These are the many varied buildings of Gadsden High School which open their doors to the ad- vancing students. Each one pertains to a different aspect of schooling, but each one holds an im- portant part in building a well-rounded educated person. The edifices house chemistry laboratories, musical instruments, sewing machines, and typewri- ters. With these tools Gadsden High School pre- pares the students for the life-long jobs ahead. The main building of Gadsden High School hous- es the majority of the student body. Built in 1924 but renovated in 1960, the edifice possesses the same brick shell but displays an entire new interior. Each room has newly painted walls, linoleum floors, and furnishings. This year the students also were privileged to have Cablevision installed in each room. The main building also boasts one of the best equipped and lighted auditoriums in Ala- bama. The new cafeteria-music building, constructed in 1959, stands to the left of the main building. Di- vided into a choral department and band depart- ment, the music floor contains separate music prac- tice rooms in which individual students may prac- tice without disturbing the practicing band or choral groups. The band and choral room floors are elevated for the convenience of the pupils. Gadsden High also boasts of a new science building built in 1960 with the best-equipped chem- istry laboratory in the state of Alabama. The bio- logy rooms also hold experimental tables. Making the building more attractive, a botanical garden stands on the main floor. Connected to the science building, the home eco- nomics building produces the future home makers of tomorrow. With the sewing room on one side and the kitchens on the other, the students learn the proper procedure of cooking and sewing. Built in 1959, the athletic room and coaches' office help aid the athletes in learning their dif- ferent plays. Adjoining the football field, the build- ing is within easy reach for needed equipment. The doors of these buildings are open and ready to receive the pupils of Gadsden High School, and through these doors they come. The main building of Gadsden High School stands as the headquarters of the campus.
