PAGE MOTX THEi CANADIAN STATES.MAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTA1RTO THtURSDAY, DEC. 5th, '193T r- PROUD DAY IN 1890 The officiai opening of the additions to Bowmanville High School which took place on Nov. 28 make a few notes en the official opening in 1890 of the first high school on this Queen Street site of interest. The land was "expropriated" from Mrs. Raynes, it is record- cd, who agreed to accept $1,000 for it. The total cost of the building which had four class- rooms, cleak and reception rooms (one of which was used as a library and had a fire- Place, giving a cosy appear- arice). an assembly room up- stairs to hold 400 and the en- tire attic or third floor to be used as a gvmnasium, cost in the neighbourhood of $15,000. A large science room on the second floor was counted one of the classrooms. This seems a modest suri flow, but there was opposition to the building of a high school in 1890. The high school board mnade a requisition to the town counicil for $8,500 and a by-lav was dr awn up on wbich rate- -payers voted, favourably as it turned out. Union sehools were -nio longer allowed by the prov- ince and temporary quarters xvere being rented for the high school following the destruc- tion of the Union School on Wellington St. by fire in Sep- tember, 1887. The gala day came on Dec. 12, 1890 when both the new Central Public School complet- cd in 1889. and the new high school wece officially opened. The Minister of Education, Hon. G. W. Ross, xvas the guest of honour at afternoon cece- nionies in the bigh school, but as his train did flot arrive in b7 MaLmI CAIRUTHERS LUNNEY time for morning ceremonies gifts to the new seat of learn- at the public school, Hon.
