OAK LEAVES Q N , S W li.. 1' 1 .53 S sf OAK GROVE MARCHES ON-AND UP While we are all in ecstacy as we watch the walls of our beautiful new recitation wing rise almost like magic and we can hardly wait to christen those spacious new recitation rooms, yet our principals modestly and smil- ingly tell us that the worth of a School is not in the elegance or extent of its buildings but rather in the quality and power of its students not only while they are in school but as long as they shall live and that on-e's students must always be finer than one's buildings. We who are practical minded certainly think this is a challenge to us, for nothing is being left undone to provide efiiciency, comfort and inspiration. The latest equip- ment for ventilation and heating is being installed, and the walls will have the best treatment for acoustics so that teachers and students may always speak in those sweet and gentle voices which Mrs. Owen tries so diligently to have us acquire. Besides four spacious classrooms more than thirty feet long, there will be two smaller recitation rooms, a Reading Room for our reference work, rest rooms for faculty and students, two new labora- tories with individual tabl-es beside a window for each Biology student, a room for Arts and Crafts and beyond that a studio over forty feet long with a fireplace which should add plenty of atmosphere for artistic temperaments. Even though we did not have such fine recitation rooms, the charming arcade which brings us to the New Wing is such an architectural gem that it should bring us with glad hearts to even the dullest lessons in Mathe- matics. The arcade has been so arranged that through its arched windows we not only see the East Gardens with their flowers and the great pines be- yond, but through the west windows we also have the panorama of our own Kennebec Valley. Other schools may build recitation buildings as fine as this New Wing but we have never seen one where every window holds so much beauty of gardens, meadows, groves, winding river, and moun- tains on the far horizon. We love it, we carry it in our hearts when we graduate from Oak Grove, and y-et we can leave it all for those who follow us. Rejoice as we may, therefore, in our new recitation building, in the depths of our hearts we still feel that the grandest thing about it is that the New Wing is fortunate enough to be built on our own beautiful hilltop. 4
