A great deal of progress has been made in moving the school to a new campus on the Point. The old Mansion was remodeled for classroom purposes last year. . . A brick ¡facing and interior remodeling was done, and the classes were held there by fall. A water and sewerage system large enough for the completed school is in use. A two story dormitory is in construction. It will accommodate 40 boys. There will be two masters to a floor, and in the basement there will be a large recreation ro6m and a dark room. A new dining hall and kitchen that will service 160 boys and masters is being constructed. By fall of the next school year these buildings may be completed. The boys who will live in the old dormitories will commute- by bus to the dining hall. There is a possibility that a heating plant will be installed in the farm house near the Point for masters and boys till the dormitory is open. There are plans for another 40 boy dormitory, awaiting future funds, as there are also plans for a gridiron, two baseball diamonds, a well developed waterfront and several tennis courts.
