Framed Prints From Memory Lane
Framed Print of King Henry VIII School, Coventry, now has a proper gymnasium for the first time since
King Henry VIII School, Coventry, now has a proper gymnasium for the first time since 1941, when the old gym was bombed. Boys at the school, for the last 15 years, have had to do their physical training in two small huts. There was no proper equipment - only vaulting horses, mats and benches. Its wonderful to have the new gym, says senior games master Mr. H. Dunn. The new gym has all the latest equipment - including wall-bars that swing out at right-angles, a store-room for moveable apparatus, a masters dressing-room, and dressing rooms with showers. It is one more step forward in the schools big building programme. Work has been started on a site for a new science block. Building starts next month and it should be ready next autumn. The school will then have nine science labs - including five for advanced work. A new library, with windows looking onto the school playing fields, is almost ready. It has shelves for 15, 000 volumes. In the next few days an appeal will go out to parents and old boys, for 10, 000 is needed to stock the library. Every book in the schools old library was destroyed in the bombing.
