The School Fire December 1 6, 1926 The morning the magazine arrived from the printers was December 17th, the morning after the disastrous fire. This, originating in the drying-room chimney, made a clean sweep of the entire school in less than live hours. Local helpers enabled us to save much personal prop- erty and the unfinished gymnasium. Now we have got to rebuild ! ! How? When? Where? These questions will be decided within a week, but we want the moral help and encourage- ment of all our old boys, present boys, staff, and parents if we are to carry on. (We may need practical help as well). The boys were splendid and of the greatest use possible. Conditions were hard, owing to the snow and slush, but every- one was as cheery as possible. The Staff were magnificent. The telegrams and letters received within twenty-four hours from parents of old boys, parents and friends, were so numerous that one member of the staff had to be on duty from 7.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. at the telephone and indicate most assuredly that next term Boarders will return on January 14th. Or as near to it as possible.
