A Review Of The Year For the past several years, the Academy has been mak- ing plans to renovate the Rugby Dormitories into a Middle School. ln I974 part of the dorms were converted and the seventh grade, now the present eleventh grade, moved into the new classrooms. Last spring construction workers began the task of completing the new school. A brick facade similar to the one in the Brewster Hall courtyard covered the outdoor walkways leading to classrooms. ln- terior decorators coordinated bulletin boards, carpets, and walls to create a pleasant atmosphere. This fall the eighth graders moved into the school which acquired its own principal and assistant principal. Select- ed to the position of principal was Mr. Pete Goodwin, former math teacher in the Upper School. Mrs. Margaret Tucker, a veteran English teacher, became the assistant principal. The Middlers obviously enjoyed their independence as they claimed the building for themselves. On Alumni Day, several recent alumni tried to figure the areas that had been their former domiciles. The Middlers stood amazed for they had difficulty comprehending that some- one had formerly lived in their English classroom. ln addition to the rigid curriculum the students enjoyed participating in several activities such as their school dance and Sadie Hawkins Day At Chrismtas they collect ed food for the needy Like the Upper School the Middle School held chapel once a month with Mr Donovan con ducting the service and senior Richard Smith playing the organ During one of the services the students not only read the lessons and prayers but also preached the ser mon With few problems the Middle School experienced a good year f M V' 'ff' My-fe We wg!! bm 2l2fMiddle School were
