The ledge, the scene of morning congregation, is a familiar old place for students. Other places, however, can be just as common. Athletes and spectators can always rely on the gym to serve as the place for practices and games. Even the elementary school gyms cannot be forgotton, as intramural basketball players use the facilities. Since the first day of junior high, people have visited the cafeteria. The big white tiled room across the breezeway serves as a place to eat , study, and catch the latest gossip. The library serves as an old place to g ather study material, read current magazines, or escape from the everyday classroom routine. Outside of school, places in the community offer service and familiarity. Red house Antiques and Ice Cream Parlor, a fairly new business establishment, serves ice cream in one of the oldest buildings in Griffith. The large brick building at Broad and Maine was once a bank and a public library. Griffith stores give residents a chance to shop without leaving the boundaries of the city, and without wasting gas. Central Park and Franklin Field offer a chance to be outdoors and “check out what hunks are playing.” if baseball isn’t of interest, there are always snowcones. Old places offer a sense of security. Until the “five til” bell rings . . . Whether it’s a book on the American Revolution or do-it-yourself carpentry, the library always seems to have just what you need as junior Alan discovers after finding just the right book. 9
