Grades nipe and ten have had to utilize rooms in the new school because of the dis­ astrous fire which destroyed the H- huts pf the old, school. With the co­ operation of students and teachers, great accomplishments can be com­ pleted not only in school but In the world of to-morrow.” Mr. Kyles said, “The students have co-operated with teachers and con-” tractors, in the past few weeks, very well and deserve a great deal of credit for their consideration. This beautiful school cost around $600,000 and will give, the students the best facilities fpr comfort, pleasure and education. This school belongs to students and their parents and1 should be treated as a personal belonging.” Dr. McKibbon said, "The manage­ ment board has spared no money to give the students the “best” school. We must remember that Wingham and district want citizens from Wing­ ham District High School who are worthy of themselves, of their parents and of their community.” The principal, Mr. S. Hall, thanked these gentlemen and then dismissed the,, students. On behalf of the students of W.D. H.S. I wish to say “Thank you” to those people who have made this school possible for us and pray that We may be worthy of such a gift.
