Over the years, the roots of this beautiful, old London Plane tree have sheltered fairy houses, served as a stove for many leaf-and-stick stews, been “base” for a zillion runaround games and, sometimes, simply a comfy spot for a break with a buddy. #wcfriends #ourbeautifulcampus

This sweet painting of 1930s students on what we now call the “pick up porch” is the work of Caroline Reese, Class of 1938. As an elder living at the Hickman, she was a part of school life for many years, and though she has passed away, this beloved piece of her artwork hangs in a WCFS hallway for all to enjoy. #wcfriends #wcfriendsalumni #wcfriendsalumnimonday #classof1938
