Major Expansions
In August 1964 a gymnasium was built on the site of the old outdoor ice rink.
In 1976 a new annex was completed which linked the high school on one side of McLean street with the gymnasium on the other. The street now bisected by the new annex became a dead end on one side with the part now surrounded by the school becoming a pedestrian courtyard. In addition to joining the school and the gym, the new annex relieved overcrowding by providing additional classrooms, two science labs, a larger library, a typing lab and a music room. The former Glace Bay High School building which had been used for junior high classes since Morrison was founded in 1947 was demolished and the site used for parking.

Famous quotes containing the word major:
“Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddler’s major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, what’s his is what he can get his hands on.... When something is taken away from him, he feels as though a piece of him—an integral piece—is being torn from him.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
