Official opening of the wing will be held Friday afternoon. —T -A Photo the following week. Pupils were transferred from temporary classrooms established in the men teachers' room, the cafeteria and the sewing room of the home economics department. Another class was transferred to the new wing from the music room, which is now being trans- formed into a third science room by Ed Fink,. of Hensall. When this construction is completed, the art room will be moved into the lib- rary. The wing has almost identical design to the original building, so much so it is difficult to tell where the join is. Principal H, L. Sturgis said he felt the addition improves the exterior architec- ture of the school by giving it a more balanced look. Besides the classrooms, the ad- dition contains a second entrance to the south with a hall, trophy showcase and telephone booths; two washrooms, a band storage room, and a maintenance room which houses blowers to carry heat from the original heating system into the new sectidn. Changes in the classroom ap- pointments include installation of fluorescent lighting, acoustic cell - Discover Pilot's Gravy, Erect Bronze Memorial The family of the late Flight Lieutenant W. G.

"It was only at the end of February last," the letter con- tinued, "that a British Army Graves Registration Unit sue- ceeded in locating the grave in., which the victims of the crash had been buried. The remains. were. exhumed . and reburied in the Imperial War Graves Com- mission Cemetery at Taukkyan, Burma." Taukkyan is in the Pegu Di- vision of the District of Insein and lies some 21 miles to the north of Rangoon. "Most unfortunately," one' of the letters to Mrs. Schroeder said "individual identification could not be obtained but •the graves were definitely identified as that of your -son and his crew, and they have been reg- istered as collective graves numbered 10 to 17. "The Taukkyan War Cemetery and graves will be permanently maintained jay the Imperial War Graves Commission, of which Canada is a member." The bronze memorial, over the grave contains a -cross and R.C.A.F. insignia and bearsthe inscription: "Flight Lieutenant W. G. Schroeder, pilot, • Royal Canadian Air Force, 9th Feb- ruary 1945, age 27. May they sleep in peace." A picture of the memorial was furnished the family." The Imperial War Graves Commission has been entrusted with the duty of permanently commemorating those members of His Majesty's naval, military and air forces from all parts of the British Commonwealth and. Empire who died in the service of the allied cause: The commis- sion is responsible for the mark- ing and caring for the graves and forcommemorating those who have no known grave. It also records the names of all who died in permanent registers. The Commission is financed by all governments of the Coin- nionwcalth and Empire. Comments About �romarty By MRS, K. McKELLAR Y.P.S.

The rooms are .decorated in dif- ferent pastel shades. Student council has donated silk screen reproductions of Canadian paintings for the rooms in. the new section, a contribution stu- dents made when the original building was eredted. Delighted with the additional space provided by the addition, Principal Sturgis said `we're glad we waited as long as we did to build the wing because it enabled us to obtain departmental ap- proval for a larger. addition." If the school had applied for per- mission to build additional ac- comodation several years ago, the department might have allowed only two or three rooms he said. Only overcrowded facilities now faced by the school is in the kitchen of the cafeteria, which now produces many 'more meals than it was originally intended to handle.
