It's the big "H" shaped building. I don't remember a track, just a paved playground.
It was patrolled by the 3 shop teachers: Sardenia (electric shop), Wolfson and Rochester (wood shop).

Orion was the Ryan Jr. High school yearbook;
Galaxy the Francis Lewis High School yearbook.
Both space themes, which is apropos for schools of the 60s.

Many of us attended both schools (since they were essentially Across the street from each other)
and even attended the same elementary school: so we were together from kindergarden to 12th grade.

Richard Kohl's poem Line Of Command
is short enough for me to type in: 
I suppose, if I were a rose
They'd compose some sort of prose
About the color and the style
Of my clothes.

But I am just a blade of grass
Common as the grape upon the vine
And I've not the nerve to ask
The rose for equal time.
