By Pat Walls The South's Most Beautiful High School is the title that Little Rock Senior High School was given when it was built in 1927. Located at 14(X)-16(X) Park, the high school covers four square blocks. The tall, six storv, buff brick structure is reflectet! in the pool where gold fish swim the year round, and the school is surrounded by native pines, oaks, cedars, and a gently sloping ter- race that is green most of the year. Our high school is a home for some 2000 students who are offered courses for college preparation and for vocations. Each year, graduates receive good scholar- ships to outstanding colleges and universities of the na- tion, and many graduates become the political and busi- ness leaders of this community and others over the coun- try. Classes are offered in business education, business mathematics, diversified occupations, algebra, trigon- ometry, physics, foreign languages, and almost any other course to give the student a wide field to prepare for his future. The display cases in our halls proudly hold trophies of our athletic victories, and of our nationally known band, voice, art and dramatic departments. Our Parent Teacher Association is honored as having one of the larg- est mem! erships in the United States and it gives contin- uous active service to our school. Our student council. National Honor Societv. and other clubs and organizations help us to develop our lead- ership, scholarship, character, service, and individual talents. LIIHS has chapters of The Quill and Scroll Society and Key Club, both of which are international organiza- tions. The school has many clubs which appeal to everv student and help him develop mentally, morally, and socially. Our auditorium seats over 2000 people and served our city as auditorium on many occasions until the Robin- son Memorial Auditorium was built. Our auditorium stage is the third largest in the United States and has had many famous scientist, vocalist, actors, lecturers, and celebrities in all fields appear upon it. Our stadium is recognized as one of the best in the country, and our cafeteria is the largest in the state. Our library serves the student body before, after, and during school. Y'olumes of fact and fiction of all sorts may be found in this library of approximately 15.000 volumes. Photographic records of all types are on file and may lx- heard during the day and checked out for home use. In 1947 the recreation hall was built on the campus in honor of our war dead. Here we find social diversion throughout the day and on the week-ends. Each organi- zation in scltool has one member on the Campus Inn Board of Directors who represents them and helps to plan activities for Campus Inn. Assemblies are presented by various groups in school and many outstanding artists have appears! under the sponsorship of the student coun- cil. Students are given a change to display their talents on assemblies. The scholarship of faculty members has aided the progress of the school. The majority of the faculty are members of state and national organizations and partici- pate not only in school affairs but also in city and state activities. Our high school is truly THE SOUTHS MOST BEAUTIFUL HIGH SCHOOL.
