New wing to create Comprehensive High School for Rosemere

Only three years ago Rosemere High School was completed and opened by the Laurenvale School Commission and the community who made it possible. Why then an addition so soon ?

In no field today, and least of all in education is it permissible to rest on one's laurels. The "very latest" today is outmoded tomorrow, or at least in need of extensions and re-
vision. Hence, these expanded facilities for Rosemere High School, which will permit its estimated student body of 1500 to select a course of study from among a greatly increased variety of options.

Instructional rooms presently include 24 classrooms, sewing, commercial, drafting, industrial arts, woodworking shop, music, art, five science laboratories (geography, physics, biology, chemistry, junior science), language laboratory, library and lecture hall.

Details concerning course content and allocation of space in the new wing are not yet
finalised; teachers, administrators and board members are co-operating in the planning of these facilities. The addition is to extend outward from the present circular
(classroom) area, with two exceptions.

Lollipop cafeteria

Branching out from the present library (in the form of a round candy on a stick) will be the new cafeteria while the present one switches to become the new library. A special botany room is to be added to the laboratory wing on the second floor.

Raising the roof

The present gymnasium auditorium will, in future, be simply an auditorium, with lecture halls at one end. To accomplish this, architects plan, literally, to raise the roof of the present area.

Physical education facilities will be enlarged by one double and one single gymnasium. A smaller auditorium with a capacity of 400, and music rooms, behind the stage will serve for theatrical and other similar productions.
