Halleck murals panels 5 & 6

Panel 5 covers the 1920s and 1930s. The highlight of this period was in 1935 when SJC became a four-year college, though discontinuing the high school classes was still a few years in the future.
 Below is the explanation for the panel.
 Panel 8 is another with doors into the ballroom. Its subject is the college farm.
 Older alumni remember the time when the College raised hogs and turkeys for the dining hall.
 Below is the text for panel 6. Again, for a larger view of a picture, click on it to open it in its own window.
The post for panels 3 & 4 is here. Panels 7 & 8 are here.
