The Arts Have a New Home in Richmond ak yn 1 ' h ,, ,.... Ilfl ll-as r THIS year saw the completion of McGuire Hall, most recent addition to Richmond Senior High School. The arts building, as the new edifice is sometimes called, is the school center of art, drama, and music. Here meet the music classes, including such well-known organizations as band, orchestra, and choir. Here also are held the art classes. Permanent galleries located in McGuire Hall house the collections of the Richmond Art Association, representing among others, the works of many local artists. The new art galleries make it possible to display art exhibitions not otherwise available, and are frequently opened to public inspection. McGuire Hall includes an auditorium seating approximately Hve hundred persons, and is admirably equipped for the presentation of dramatic productions. The acoustics are perfect, and the auditorium is also splendid for the giving of concerts and other musical entertainments. There are also accommodations for the showing of motion pictures. The new building typilies skill in architectural design and decoration. Delicate and well modulated colors were employed in the painting of the walls and ceilings, while the architectural arrangement of the building is both convenient and decorative. Two large urns adorn the front of McGuire Hall, and several smaller can be found in the building proper. The fountain, a famous work sculptured by Ianet Scudder, graces the main foyer. McGuire Hall occupies a definite and important position in the life of Richmond High School, and in the lives of the students and the people of Richmond. The build- ing was constructed mainly through the gift of Mr. Charles McGuire, in memory of his mother, Mrs. Esther McGuire. Q Q
