SUMMER 1914 HE Summer Class of 1914, numbering four hundred and thirty-five, is the last class to graduate from the old Normal School building, which, for over thirty years has sent forth enthusiastic, competent teachers for the State of California. The Class of Summer ' 1 4 has tried earnestly to make this last year of our Alma Mater in the Old Home one of happiness, progress and success — a year worthy of its place in the history of our school. But as we bid farewell to the Past, we turn eagerly to welcome the Future, v rhich, for the Los Angeles State Normal School is bright beyond comparison. Under the supervision of two architects and a small army of work- men, the magnificent group of buildings has reached completion, and will be ready for occupancy next fall. We shall no longer climb flight after flight of stairs, for the New Normal School, as we all know, consists of a group of ten buildings, reminiscent of the low and attractive Lombardy type of architecture. An Administration building, with offices, class-rooms and an assembly hall to seat seventeen hundred people; a Library, with capacity for sixty thousand volumes and four hundred readers; a Manual Arts building hous- ing the Manual Art and Home Economic departments; a Science Hall, with laboratories — chemical, physical, physiological, horticultural — and a room for an out-of-door vivarium for nature study; the Fine Arts building with appropriate studios and halls for music and art; a fine Gymnasium with its characteristic accessories; a magnificent Training School, containing besides the usual class and practice teaching rooms, a gymnasium, cooking labora- tory, sewing room, music hall, manual training room, open air class rooms, etc.; the Manual Arts shops — carpenter shop, machine shop, foundry, etc. — a Kindergarten Training School building, planned to meet the special re- quirements of such a school; a Cafeteria building, with capacity for four hundred at tables, and with abundant provision for the preparation and serving of food; and last, but not least, an Athletic Field big enough for baseball, football, or any other modern athletics. Surely we have reason to be proud of, and to wish success and pros- perity, not only to the New Home, but to those who have had, and will have, in their hands its guidance and keeping.
