suitable and has never been changed. In 1930 the Rfwivzcf was entirely discon- tinuedg in its place is published the bi-weekly newspaper Thr Hi lfVay.v, which be- gan in 1928 as a school page in the local newspaper. Once more, as before the building of the high school, the same complication of over-crowded rooms and classes seemed to be arising. 'l'he situation soon became so serious that the two corridors along the auditorium balcony were enclosed and turned into study halls. These we know today as rooms 2ll and 212. It was necessary to suspend chapel in order to use the auditorium for a study hall, and the mechanical drawing classes were forced to lower the curtain and meet back-stage. The school also installed lockers in the halls for those who were without cloakroom facilities. Finally when it became impossible to accommodate the increasing num- ber of students, the School Board added the new addition to the High School. As we know, the new addition, including the boys' gymnasium and the auditorium, has improved conditions temporarily. but even today it is almost impossible to seat the whole student body in chapel. This has been the story of the rapid growth of our schools. NYe are indeed in- debted to Mr. Anderson. Mr. Martin, Mr. Allison, Mr. Graham. and the school boards who without any remuneration have served so faithfully, and also to the many other men and women who have served their community by serving their school. In appreciation of their work, let us hope that our generation and especially our class may continue to maintain their line standards and may in some way repay them by our co-operation and loyal school spirit. --fm' illarry JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
