most complete schools in Western
Florida. 1t was our privilege to go
over the new boys dornitory and it
seems to be the most complete and up
to- date building of it's kind. 1t is two
stories, Of pressed brick and will house
about sixty boys, besides the principal
and his family. The suite of the prin-
c1pal consists Of five rooms and will be
occupied by Prof. o. o. Fisher and
his wife and one of the chief attrac-
tons is that the suite is so arranged
that five bedrooms will be under the
hmm ediate supervision of Mr.. Fisher,
so that a number of the smaller boys
will have his direct care. There are
twenty-eight bedrooms; each room
contains two beds, table, bureau and
chairs, all of solid oak; there is also
a laKatory with hot and cold water and
a closet in each room, Besides the
bedrooms, there are two large society
halls, a gymnasium and reception hall;
on both floors there are several bath
rooms, all fitted for either showers or
tubs; the corridors are wide, windows
large; in fact, it has every modern
convenience even to a fire escape on
the second floor. The building is the
pride of our town and a credit to West
Florida.
