By setting this for the High School, a large room was obtained for the public school departments." Many pupils of the former Mr. M. J. Wellwood will have vivid recollections of their high school days in these two east rooms of the present Central School. They recall the tiny chemistry "lab' leading off the. upstairs c room and the wooden stairway leading up to this classroom from the street, for at that time no doors connected the High School with the rest of the build- ing. Soon the attendance grew to such an extent that three tea- chers were needed and for the st time a lady teacher was engaged and the principal Mr J. T. Lillie, urged upon the School Board the need of a new school building. The Board real ized this necessity and in the year 1908 purchased four acres of land, facing on Reynolds St IE = The tender of Mr. Carson, of Oakville, was accepted and Mr. Lillie and his staff (three tea- chers in all) moved into this new school building in the spring of 1909. To quote from a booklet ) about Oakville in 1912, we read "This was a large and handsome brick edifice with every conven- ience that science has brought to the art of modern school build- ings. The class rooms are spa- cious, the ceilings high, thé cor- ridors wide, the ventilation (air changing by automatic devices very twenty minutes) is per- fect. The laboratory is admir- ably equipped and throughout everything for the conduct of a high grade institute of learning is provided. An ideal lecture room gives scope for debates literary entertainments and lic meetings, while two rooms, one for each sex, opportunity participants!" This assembly hall, as it was known to the stu- dents was on the second floor | with windows on the centre west side of the building--shrubs and a lawn were planted at the front give for preparation of | of the school, while the large playground at the rear was of great value to the students © Sir Robert Falconer was the special speaker at the opening of the new school. As the years passed, once again quarters had become very cramped owing to the very rapid growth of Oakville's population so that the contract for a large addition to the building was awarded to Carson and Elliott of Oakville. Work was comn ced on July 18, 1923 and com- pleted by the end of January 1924. At this time the principal Mr. William B. Wyndham, was in failing health, and to the regret of all his wide circle of friends, Mr. Wyndham passed away on April 1st, 1924 | As the school now contained eight class ] laboratory for physics, try and agriculture instruction, 2 commercial room.
