The arch leading to the trophy cases on either side and the doors in the background are typical of the interior architecture of the new Annex. The New Annex Chrisman was presented with a beautiful new annex at the beginning of this school year. This building is one of the most up-to-date in this part of the country. The Annex was built next to the main building, and passage- ways between the two were made on each floor level, practically turning the two into one. The exterior architecture of the Annex was copied after that of the main building so that the buildings would match, but the architecture of the interior is of a more modern type. As one enters the' new Annex from the front, he is confronted by a beautiful archway. The hall is equipped on both sides with electrically lighted, built-in trophy cases which are very attractive to the visitor. The main halls are lined with beautiful brown tile. There are also lockers built into the hallways, enabling every student in the annex to have a place of sate keeping for his belongings. The drinking fountains are also set in the hallway walls. The new building contains a number of the specialty departments, besides many classrooms. On the third floor, the commercial department occupies 3193152 Paw .. - -- awx-- a -'---'-'- '---- -- -- - r ... -...f...:,,.,.,,,,,-- ... -.,----ff,-1,
