THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING J'tfX JUOtfXiL . . . Up this stairway in the fall of 1905 came the students of the Mt. Diablo Union High School to enroll for the first time in their newly constructed building. For four years the school had used temporary quarters, but now the students were proud to have a separate building. But this stairway is the entrance to our own ADMINISTRATION BUILDING! Let us join these strangely dressed young people and see our school as it was on the first day. We step into the hall. The wide stairway descends to the lower floor, but above, a wall covers the entrance to the library. On the right are two classrooms. To the left is the office of the principal. We follow the students across the hall to the left of the stairs, where we watch them hang their hats and coats in a cloakroom. Then we walk to our main office, but it is not there. Instead the floor is covered with rows of stationary desks, and a teacher assigns one to each of us. Here we will keep our books: here we will come to study and to attend assemblies. Next to this room is another large classroom. Only four rooms upstairs? No other buildings? No playfields? The campus is only a grain field set with oaks! How we wish these students could see Diablo now! They can. Some of them are living in Concord today and have watched us grow.
