GRAMMAR SCHOOL HALL NEW TAKAPUNA BUILDING. Progress on the erection of an asembly hall for the Takapuna Grammar School has been rapid and, according to a statement made to-day by the headmaster, Mr. K. J. Dellow, the building should be ready for occupation during the current school year. Framework is now complete, weatherboarding Is under way and a start has been made on the roof, but the interior has not yet been touched.
When completed the hall, a wood and iron building, will accommodate <SOO pupils. A stage 22ft deep has Jjeen built at one end and provision has been made for addition of dressing roome later. One row of seats will be built in around the wall and it is hoped that the rest of the seating will be on individual chairs. ' T -
An assembly hall has been needed at the school for some years, but the neceassary finance has not been available. Earlier in the year the Government made a grant of £2000 toward the cost of the hall and a further £1000 was found by tbe Grammar Schools' Board of Governors, the school itself and the Ex-Pupils' Association.
The new hall when completed will completely fill the quadrangle formed by the three wings of the school.
