DEDICATION GF THE NEW EYUWU On a cold November morning, the Diman Vocational High gymnasium was officially opened for use of the undergraduates. Present at t.he opening exercises were School Committeeman Arthur H. Sunderland, Superintendent of Schools William S. Lynch, Director Joseph P. Gilligan and many other city officials who have toiled without rest to improve the facilities of our school. To Coach Charles 0'Keefe, this gym meant an opportunity to advance his physical education program which he has coordinated with that of Mr. Richard Hayden who has developed a city-wide program in physical health a.nd education. For every student of Diman, this gym was a means of attaining physical fitness so that Diman men would not only have keen minds but also healthy bodies. Probably the most appreciative of all people who would use 'fthe gym were the basketball players, because they, at least, had a place that they could call home. This gym, with its modern showers and lockers was all that the players wanted, and they thanked all who were instru- mental in obtaining it for them by winning not only the Narragansett League Championship, but also the Eastern Massachusetts State Championship. Shortly after the gym opened, Miss Lavender, the school dietitian, presented her menus of hot lunches, which consisted of good, wholesome food on a non-profit basis. The cafeteria was installed in the gym with the students eating from folding, wall-encased tables. After the Christmas recess, Mr. Johnson of the Drafting Department inaugurated his shop basketball league, which consisted of teams from various shops in the school. This league will bring untold aid to Coach 0'Keefe by developing many players who possess innate basketball qualities but lack experience. The new gymnasium ls finally used for school assemblies which are held every Thursday under the direction of Mr. Driscoll of the English Department. Mr. Driscoll feels that active student participation in assemblies is essential ln developing leadership and character, and for this reason, all assemblies have been conducted only by the undergraduates of Diman. As all can see, the Diman gymnasium has been another example of progress which the school has madeand is making. May it always serve as a means of developing students with sound judgment and unquestionable character.
