After entering the school we began stumbling under ladders, over boards and what not; but on entering the rooms, we found some of them nearly complete, with each room done in dif­ ferent colours. The girls’ washrooms are beautifully decorated in pink, grey and mauve and sqme of the boys said that this would probably be the first and last time they would be in them. The boys’ washrooms are done in blue and cream. The gym and cafe­ teria are far from being completed and it is slightly confusing, as there are three floors. The Art, Music, Commerciel and Home Economics rooms are on the first floor, the gym, cafeteria and most of the classrooms are on the main floor and the shop, science rooms, cadet room and shooting range are on the lower floor. On the whole, our general impress­ ion of the new school is that it is progressing rapidly and we can hard­ ly wait to get into it. by Eleanor Smith and Joan Wightman lu and Around School Don’t be alarmed if you don’t see too many high school students around this week. ^Everyone is thinking of just one thing—^examinations—and wondering why they didn’t lean; their work as it was assigned to them. Some wonder why they didn’t start to study two or three weeks ago. About that time our poor teachers were working very industriously to set the exams. It seems they had trouble making them difficult enough. Now they are busily engaged mark­ ing those papers, Grade IX students please note, if you have studied hard and got over 66 2|3% in a subject and ar© in the top third of the class you may be excused from the June exams, However, this round of examinations will soon be over and best of luck to everyone for the remainder of tljem. Because of the examinations this week at the high school, there will not be any report from our school next week. H. J. CORNISH & Co. Certified Public Accountants H.'J. Cornish L. F. Cornish ’ D.

Subsequent investigation revealed a broken street light at the scene of the accident. Remember, street lights are placed there for everyone’s convenience and protection. Motorists have less chance to 4 see pedestrians in a dim light; people on foot are more likely to stumble dnd fall. Replacing broken street lights costs thousands of dollars each year. This money comes out of your pocket in the long run because you are a part owner in > your Hydro. Help to keep your streets safe, to protect your Hydro pro­ perty by doing everthing in youi* power to prevent broken street lights.
