Notice on the left of the picture above that a corridor leading from the new gymnasium/auditorium to the original wing finally enclosed the centre courtyard, finally making it a "quadrangle" as it had been originally planned. See the blueprints below to see the 1954 addition (in blue). Note that the old "Boys' Gymnasium" became a Study and Detention Hall and that the "Girls' Gymnasium" became the Library.
