H A 'friendly entrance A FRIENDLY PLACE Our Junior High School, built in the shadows of California's hills, is typical of the early California architecture. Warmth and cheer radiate from its whitewashed brick walls, its broad inviting archways, and large arcades. The red tile roofs reflect the warmth of California's sunshine. The over- hanging balconies are informally attractive and romantic. Its heavy grilled iron gates seem to protect it from iniiuences other than good. Its entrance halls, warmed by colorful tiles and tapestries, sound a note of friendliness and good cheer. The main hall and entrance to the auditorium form a center of interest. Here charm is greatly increased by the beautifully designed Mexican tile which is panelled about the doorways and about the drinking fountain. Down the long vista of the hall, too, bits of tile add spots, of color and grilled wrought iron lanterns lend a fascinating charm. Opposite the auditorium are the main oihces, Where homelike decorations give artistic touches, To the Cast, Where the morning sun makes arched shadows the length of the arcade, lies the rock garden. Here delicate trailing plants and dainty ferns make a picturesque Spot. Then to the West where the sun lingers longer is the girls' court. Tropical shrubs define its boundaries and a lovely cooling fountain holds our attention. Surely these touches make our school a happy one!! Sylvia Gray, A9. Fifty-seven 3.
