Hello. Â I am 91 years old. I attended this school in the 1930s to 1945. I do not actually remember this mural but enjoy reading about it and seeing a picture of one wall. The reference i read gave George Gaethke all the credit. I will look up the to other artists. Â I believe the New Deal was the best thing that happened in my lifetime through President Roosevelt .Â
