New9School in the Offing. Charlotte Broome Like many other schools, Elora Public and High Schools have greatly over-crowded. The Public School has two grades in one, th the exception of Grade I. The High 5chool's Grade XII is occupying room belonging to the Public dchool, while Grades 5, 6 and ? are in 3 the High School's shop. The Home Economics room is partitioned into twov and at present holds the Grade K. - Planning for a new school has gone on for several months. The site has been chosen and the architect is working on the plans for a ninee roomed high school which includes a combination gymnasium M auditorium. The four municipalities of Elora, Nichol Township, Pilkington and Peel Townships have been approached and permission grantedvfor the necessary expenditure. The old High School will be taken overfthe Public school. All these plans mean that the rosy dreams of our student body are finally going to be achieved. A new school for E.B.H.S.L Long may it serve this community! New School Jaan Harris ' Finally, at long last. Elora will get a new high school. This old school dates back before paper was available and the only remarkable thing about it is that it is still standing. In the basement lives several fine, healthy families of skunks, rent free and they only fumigate the school once or twice a year. In the walls there is a truly remarkable system of tunnels and stairs leading to the fine old rat nests Slme of the rats have lived here all their lives and know more french than our best linguists and figure out algebra problems just by hearing . . r the chalk grinding against the antique blackboards. Anothe feature of this school is the heating system. In winter it the room at an even temperature not varying more than tO or the whole day. It also serves as a p.a. system. By merely a chair and hitting the rad as hard as possible, every body knows that there is no teacher in that room. ' The new school will no doubt help the town as much as in my opinion it is certainly very badly needed. 4 paper. - , ' a'schoo1 unique always keeps 9000 during picking up in the school the students , The School Magazine 'Rhonda Allan ago Elura High School had a literary society which magazine again.
