History classroom mural
Stretching across the walls in C-125, a history classroom, is an extensive painted mural of a history timeline, which was originally created by a group of students in preparation for the AP Modern European History exam. This remarkable mural was completed in the 1990s, and was worked on over the summer by these students. Additionally, other walls in the room display canvases for the student-run play “Shadow of the Sun,” art based on Stefan Zweig's “World of Yesterday,” and a second historical timeline of European art. According to teacher Christy Gerst, who now teaches in the room, these murals reflect a less-pressured time where students were able to come outside of class for activities such as painting together, offering a captivating time capsule of the 1990s and early 2000s.
