A View of the Field, the Courts, and the Shaded Benches Area near the Gym. Though the shaded seating area is not really a part of the "Gym" it is often used by P.E. teachers and students. If the gymnasium is occupied for the day, P.E. teachers have students exercise in the concrete benches or run laps. This area, though not connected to the gym, should be considered an important part of the Gym.
