Wood is old, but familiar, sturdy and architectually different from the average high school. Harr E. Wood High School Every school day of the year students at Harry E. Wood walk or ride through the heart of their city. In the morning it is as if they set the pace for an awakening city which throbs with the rumble of commerce and industry, rushes toward civic betterment, ponders a huge governmental complex, and goads its citizens to look for a better life. While the city is active, Wood students are in the classroom seeking ways and means to cope with Indianapolis, Indiana's largest metropolitan area with a population of one million. Midtown schooling is not easy for the student. There is not much grass, and few trees dot the school area. Every available piece of ground is precious. To the first-time visitor the school appears odd-shaped, coming to a sharp point where Madison Avenue meets Meridian Street. A new gym is barely visible among tall buildings and warehouses. But as individual as the building, are the stu- dents and faculty. They go to the only high school in the very heart of their city.

and business Huge semi-trailers roll past the high school carrying Indianapolis, reputation as a transpor- tation crossroads of America. just three blocks north much of central Indianais retail and fi- nancial business is transacted, and surrounding the school are pharmaceutical, machinery, auto- motive, and truck manufacturers, meat plants, railroad depots, paper product companies and a host of o-thers. All this activity looms as opportunity for the Wood student. He has a feel for the might of the free enterprise system, because he is in the middle of it and can see the result of Amer- ican enterprise and ingenuity. South Street is hectic when the huge semi-trailers roar Practical training makes the student available for the business market right after graduation. rg? gg! F JG
