The new auditorium and gymnas. lum is very pleasing in appearance, and being on., the ground door, will not disturb classrooms underneath. In fact, it is. said that the only rea- son a home economics teacher resign- ed from this school a few years ago, was because she found it so hard to conduct classes with the pounding and vibration overhead from activities in the old gym. A compact gallery to seat 800 is a feature of the new gyni, which is pro- vided with a most complete stage at the east end. Tlie new addition has its own oil heating plant and chimney and is completely independent of the old school, the only connection being through a heavy lire door. It has been built with the thought in mind that when the original building is no long- er serviceable, or expansion becomes necessary, a new building can be built on to this latest section, and nothing lost. The hallway between the gym and the old school contains the principal's office, general office and a student counselling office. In front of these doors is a screened off part with a. long bench, where young pupils await- ing interviews with the principal, for various- reasons, may sit in comfort and reflection. A novel feature of this hall will be a single, long fluorescent bulb extend- ing the entire length. Many people ask why there is only one electric outlet in the hall ceiling, and that is the reason. "PAC THURSDAY, AUGI,IST 19, 1054 In the wail of this baliwaY is a recons with glass; front 'where school trophies can be exhibited. At the outside .entrance provision Iles been made for flower bed. One of the biggest changes in the old building, is the bringing down- stairs of the science rooms. The old sink desics..wliieli have clone duty for upwards of half a. century are being scrapped, and modern desks with two - Melt black wooden tops are ready for installation. Members of the hoard had hoped to ft up the old old lab desks for the lunch room, but found them too bulky and expensive to change over, So if you have use for an old lab desk, Iiow is your chance to put in a bid, A thermostat control system is being put in every- room, and the 'principal (or caretaker) will have the key. Thus the temperature control in each room can be looked at a certain temperature, with the assurance it will not be altered by pranksters or otherwise. Opening out basement partitions to make a commodious lunch room will provide an innovation which country pupils will appreciate in bad weather,, All in all,'we think the teachers and pupils will be happy in the new setup, CROMARTY Houghton—Gale Rev.
