Two Henry F. Hunt Junior High (now Middle School) students take a break in the peaceful courtyard of the West End school in April, 1961. Wooden benches are placed beside a large square pond which contains a small rock garden with a newly planted fir. The ultra modern school was built in 1958 by noted architect Robert Billsbrough Price and heavily utilized wood instead of the more common brick or concrete. Photograph ordered by Vanzant, Dugdale & Co., Baltimore, MD.

April, 1961, view of cafeteria/auditorium at Hunt Junior High School. The mushroom-shaped building at the Henry F. Hunt Junior High (now Middle) School served at least two purposes. It was used as a cafeteria and also an auditorium with large stage. Here students are apparently rehearsing for a play; pianist is at hand to accompany actors. Architect Robert Billsbrough Price made full use of natural light with skylights and tall windows surrounding the building. The arched wooden beams provided support as well as made an arresting sight. Photograph ordered by Vanzant, Dugdale & Co., Baltimore, MD.

Library at Hunt Junior High (now Middle) School. Several tables are arranged neatly in the library of the Henry F. Hunt Junior High in April, 1961. Bookcases aligned on one long wall are filled with rows of fiction, classics and non-fiction books. Eleven tempera paintings made by individual ninth graders filled the panel above the book stacks. Each represented a favorite book or character. 2 x 3.5 feet in size, all featured monochromactic blues. The school was built heavily utilizing wood instead of the more common brick or concrete; examples shown above are the thick wooden beams in the ceiling.
