This new addition provides accommodations for four boys, and is made up of two bedrooms and a large common study, all finished attractively in natural wood panelling. Of Colonial design, and in keeping with the rest of the school buildings, the new addit- ion was planned by the school architect. One of the most interesting features of the new build- ing is the large percentage of the construction which was done by the boys. As a work project in connection with the Ranger program the addit- ion has provided much valuable practice in the development of manual skills. All the boys in school have at one time or another aided in re- moving over one hundred tons of fill from the cellar hole, and have set more than six hundred blocks in the foundation. f' XX - i 7 4 xx j ..
