The history of Mexico has been
portrayed by Betty Jones in a mural
of her own designing, drawing, and
painting, on the back wall of Mrs.
Towson's Spanish room.
Beginning with Mexico before the
arrival of the Spanish, the mural
tells the story of the life and relig
ion of the Maya Indians who inhab-
tied the land The story continues
on through colonial Mexico by show
ing a busy market place and Mex
lean fiesta where a native is beating
a tom-tom and people are dancing
the native dance. At last, modern
Mexico is portrayed, with its mod
ern stores and automobiles and dress.
But in the squares of the modern
cities stand the ancient statues and
temples that so well characterize
the natives. Also in the streets are
donkeys and peasants as a contrast
to the modern life.
Out of the blue sky looms huge
volcanic crater that provides back
ground for the portraits of the great
builders and leaders of Mexico
Alamen, Juarez, the Priests, and Cor
tez.
