 The greatest alterations ana m movements were made at the Gen tor Grammar School building and m the grounds of this and the Hiqh School structure. A new class room has been made from what was the auditorium at the Gram mar school, several new lavatorles and drinking fountains have been installed in the toilet rooms, three of the room floors have been sand cd two ceilings have been re- newed and the entire building has had a complete cleaning:
 The new room is a thoroughly modern affair and is now the seventh grade home room.
