EXPANSION ADDS GYM After emerging at first as a comparatively small brick building, the physical being of Darlington Academy has expanded to become a three-wing structure, complete with a lunchroom and gymnasium. Students coming to Darlington Academy during its first year conformed to the noise and almost constant presence of workman who were continually striving to complete the partially finished building. By the end of the first school year, students had an outside basketball court which was also used for a volleyball and kick-ball play area. Two years ago, construction was begun for an Upper School building which was to house a much-needed lunchroom and gymnasium. When school opened for the 1973-74 year, the building was ready to stand the test. Darlington Academy now stands completed—for the time being. And from the diligent labor of the construc- tion crews, the school’s faculty and students are able to enjoy all the comforts of a “home away from home.” The pre-primary building is located behind the lower school building, enclosed by a fence. A lone worker measures the floor space for the bleachers in the gym. IS
