Tradition, school spirit, school name—these come alive against a ‘background of architectural features: an almost rococo ceiling, rust- ing in places; a tablet, emblazoned with the names of the 1921-1922 Board of Education; an aftergame stadium clothed in shreds of confetti. Caned stone, red bricks, milky glass ... a building ... Valdosta High School. OBSCURE - WELL-KNOWN PLACES, 12

OVERALL DESIGN Completion of every large building requires the services of an architect, a contractor, and a decorator. Mr. Nunn—the head architect of the design (other- wise known as Superintendent of the Valdosta City' Schools)—performs his administrative duties with a warm, friendly smile, and a sure knowledge based on years of experience. While students do not often come in contact with him, teachers always anticipate his ghost walk”—passing out pay checks. With a firm, knowing touch, Mr. Bridges—super- vising contractor of the design (otherwise known as Principal of Valdosta High School)—directs the daily growth of learning. Students and faculty cooperate with him to promote an orderly atmosphere. Like any good decorator, Miss Ford (otherwise known as the guidance counselor of Valdosta High School), considers the needs of her clients—the stu- dents, teachers, and parents. She carefully listens and advises so that she can create a balanced struc- ture for all. These youngsters always surprise me, speculates Miss Ford after giving directions for the Kuder Interest Inventory to Mac McRae and Steve Spurlock.
