1950 EDITORIAL THE announcement of a new gymnasium for Wilton Academy was gratefully received not only by the students of Wilton Academy, but by all persons interested in the welfare of our school. Wilton Academy is fortunate in being located in a town that has men of vision who are con- scious of the present needs, and interested enough to make possible a Fine modern gym- nasium for our school. For several years the seating capacity of our gym has been inadequate. Interest in our bas- ketball games has been dropping steadily be- cause of the crowded accommodations. This year in order to participate in the Mountain League we had to play our games in the Farm- ington Community Center since our gymnasium does not have a regulation Hoor. Our new gymnasium will contain a new and larger shop and a music room, thus eliminating the distracting noise. There will be an athletic director's room and space for lockers, showers and storage. A large stage will accommodate many activities, such as Band concerts, Glee Club concerts and plays. With deepest appreciation and gratitude, we wish to thank Mr. Roy Gifford, Mr. Earl Foss, Mr. Parker Abbott, Mr. Charles Swett, Mr. Francis Egan, Mr. Edward I. Ewing, and Mr. Fred G. Richardson, directors of the Wilton Woolen Company, for their generous gift. Ioyce A.
