Foreword . . . When the sun rises over the dull red brick walls of Grady, the physical angles of the school appear soft in the morning light, and an atmosphere of peace shrouds the building. Then, slowly, pupils begin to arrive, and noisy chatter breaks the silence. While the sun climbs toward its zenith, the irregular walls of the school cast blunt shadows on the pavement. As the day progresses, students engage in every angle of school activity. In the classroom, pupils answer test questions, listen to their teachers, or gaze out of the window. By the stadium, a military company marches: on the gym floor, the basketball team prac- tices: in the halls, laughing boys and girls discuss the coming dance. Throughout the long day the pupils do not notice the sun as it sinks in the sky, nor the shadow of the building as it grows longer and grayer, but they do notice the minutes marching by. At three o'clock a bell dismisses the classes to play or to work on more extracurricular activities. The school still buzzes with the noise of club meetings and athletic practice as the day wears on. Finally, however, the last pupil departs: the last weary teacher locks his door and leaves the building: the echo of the last footsteps dies in the empty corridor. As twilight settles over the school, the rough comers of the building appear soft again and the shadows dis- solve into dusk. Peace settles over the physical angles of Grady High School. In the silent night the building sleeps, awaiting the next day when students will again throng its halls as they follow every angle of school life. Dormant, quiet, yet expectant, the red walls- of the school rest in darkness until the pink dawn brings another day.
