1951 EDITORIAL THE students, alumni, and friends of Wilton Academy now have added reason to be proud of their Fine school. Hindered at times in the past by inadequate space, W. A. has had difficulty in carrying out some of its educational and extra-curricular programs, but in recent years great improvements have been made. The office and the room housing the Home Eco- nomics Department have been remodeled, a commercial department has been added, and the Colby Athletic Field resurfaced and made into one of the Finest in the state. Now, with the addition of our new gymnasium, through the generosity of the owners of the Wilton Woolen Company, W. A. at last has a complete physical plant. No longer does our basketball team have to borrow a neighboring town's court for its games, it now has an excellent gym of its own. This building also provides the best facilities for physical education classes and indoor ath- letics. The regulation size floor has plenty of space for many indoor sports and the locker rooms in its basement, unlike the old ones in the Academy building, are large and roomy. The Agriculture Department has found its new shop in the gym basement much more sat- isfactory than the old location in the Academy. Big doors roll up to allow machinery to be brought right into the shop. There is much more space for desks and machines, and the sur- roundings are more pleasant. Because of its size and its excellent stage, the gym is in great demand for all kinds of social events. Many school dances have been held there and the Glee Club Cabaret was success- fully staged in it. It is an ideal place for speak- ing contests, musical concerts, and public gath- erings. Our class will be the first to hold its commencement activities there. The gymnasium has greatly relieved the cramped quarters in the Academy building and made room for needed improvements. The old agriculture shop has been turned into a student recreation room, but in the future it will prob- ably be remodeled as the school cafeteria. In the old coach's room, a sound-proof music room has been constructed. In the future other changes, such as new classrooms made from the old gym, probably will take place. All these improvements have made Wilton Academy a finer school, one in which we can justly take pride.
