It was at first hoped to place a large bell on the top of the building to strike the hours and half-hours.

There will, however, be a ten inch electric each entrance which will sufficiently disturb the waves any may be gong at of ether to summon who within a block of the building. This, in general, is what we hope to install, and as a school we ought to take this thanks to those persons who have so means of expressing our kindly furnished the funds to provide so ample a system for us.

The next year we were glad to take up our quarters in the New High School building, which had just been erected.
