McIntosh Exterior
Summary of Views
On a sunny spring day when leaves are dressing trees and shrubs in cloaks of green, Auburn High School presents a lovely scene. The red brick building is in contrast with the green of the well kept lawn. There is nothing fancy or gaudy about the architecture but it is impressive in its simple majesty. Windows three rows high are evidence that inside rooms are well lighted. Doors in front, back and on each side would tell many strange tales if they could speak.
East of the high school is the building which supplies the heat. it is constructed of the same material as the high school building and adds proportion to the campus. north of this building is a larger structure dear to the heats of Auburnites. This is the Alumni Gymnasium where Auburn teams meet defeat of victory once or twice each week during the winter basketball season.
The McIntosh building is inclosed by a continuous sidewalk where, on nice days dozens of roller skaters make their rounds.
The library, although not in sight of the campus is in students minds closely related to the high school. it is likewise, made of brick and wears a cap of green tile. in front there is a lawn filled with shrubbery and trees and behind there is a lovely little park in the center of which is a large fountain surrounded by trees and shrubs among which gravel paths wind their ways.
Just a few hints are sufficient to recall the campus scenes of McIntosh High School. To the alumni to whom eash window, door, path, or step may hold a memory, no other place in Auburn will stand out more vividly than these scenes of high school days.
