This was my school in the 40's. But things have changed. The iron fence is new. When I went there, most rooms had one wall that would open up to allow the fresh air in to the room. Now they have AC and almost no windows. I remember looking out and seeing people walk by, the birds flying about, and the leaves moving in the breeze. The students may be cooler but I doubt if they are happier.
