These handicaps, however did not deta the Council from the gigantic tasks with which they had to deal. and the hours they spent at regular meetings were as minutes when comps ed with the countless hours of caucus meet- ings. special meetings, and com- mittee meetings during the year.

MUCH BUSINESS Tusemeetings were necessary mainly because of the unpreced- ented buslness accomplished by the Council. and which included (1) the conversion of the High School auditorium into six class- rooms; (2) the purchase of the property known as the Brennan estate. on which (8) construction of a new high school, and (4) con- struction of a new auditoriu were, immediately begun; (5) acquisition of the Summerslde Civic Stadium. in which (6) artificial ice plant was installed and other major improvements made.

The matter of providing addition- al school facilities together with the need for a civic auditorium had been obvious for some time and the first step taken by the Council was the conversion of the auditorium into six classrooms.

This. however. did not meet the number of classrooms that were required and after a long study of the situation it was decid- ed that an extension of the present school was inadvisable for several reasons including those which in- dicated that an extension to the east would eliminate the school playground, while an extension to the north would cut into Queen Elizabeth Park.

It was also noted that the pres- ent school includes a section which was part of the old school and this older section might have to be rebuilt in future years. and any addition to the present school would create a sprawling. cumber- some unit of architecture.

It is, however. equally a cart- ainty that history will show that the personal sacrifice of time and work which the present Summer- side Town Council have given to their responsibilities will be a lasting memorial to their commun- szrvice that will be enjoyed
