"The Excursion" Coral Gables Elementary School in Florida. Original picture dates back to 1926. It seems safety was not as big an issue then. Busses were not as tall. I love This Mediterranean Revival theme of Southern Florida. " Because Beautiful Things Inspire high Ideals in the Minds of Children" - George Merrick. It's a Most Marvelous saying.I hope you like this effort
