a constantly increasing attendance which has quite reacheo. ,OUT
physical capacity.

~
The Chester Springs School ,was ~ery successfully operated for a
period of twelve weeks, June 19th through August 30th. The enrollment was the 1aT'gest experienced /in many yearsc
The Summer School at Broad and Cherry S treet~ was again carried
on for a period of six vJeeks, June 16th through July 26th.
'.
,
A very sizable proport ion of the s.tudent body in all of the branches
of our activities listed above is traceable to the Go, I. Bill of
Rights and the caliber of 1ATOrk emanating from t 'hese very earnest
students ha-s been most gra~efylng to the man~gement and the faculty.

The major item in renovation '\'vi thin the last year at Broad and
Cherry Streets was the installation o'f a nevI freight elevator in.
the old elevator shaft at the West end of our bUilding. The new
elevator is hydraulic ancl electrically controled and sati~fies in
every particular the requirements as of State and City. It
provides the Academy 'tvi th an exemplary service "lith a lifting
cap~ci ty of 4,000 ' p~)'(mds.
This improvement was rea1izecl at a cost
of ~pp~6~i~A~e1y $28 ,000.
Because of this unusual expense being add~d to the figure of $21,126.21
expend,e d in the last :Ciscal year for the work acc'o mpli shed in repairs
and improvements to tpe roofs in the East end of our building» the
Board of DIrectors, at their meeting of December 8, 1947, authorized
the borrowing fro m any bank or banks such sums, not exceeding $50,000,
as may be required to pay the cost of repairs nON' oompleted for this
corporation.
An addl tional toilet flxture vvas ao~deo. in each of the boYS·1 and. girls ff
wash rooms ' in the s,chool at Broao. and Cherry Streets and new metal
cubicles ,were installed with these, new and relocatea , fixtures.

The Summer School at Broad and Cherry S treet~ was again carried
on for a period of six vJeeks, June 16th through July 26th.

A very sizable proport ion of the s.tudent body in all of the branches
of our activities listed above is traceable to the Go, I. Bill of

The major item in renovation '\'vi thin the last year at Broad and
Cherry Streets was the installation o'f a nevI freight elevator in.
the old elevator shaft at the West end of our bUilding. The new
elevator is hydraulic ancl electrically controled and sati~fies in
every particular the requirements as of State and City. It
provides the Academy 'tvi th an exemplary service "lith a lifting
cap~ci ty of 4,000 ' p~)'(mds.
This improvement was rea1izecl at a cost
of ~pp~6~i~A~e1y $28 ,000.
Because of this unusual expense being add~d to the figure of $21,126.21
expend,e d in the last :Ciscal year for the work acc'o mpli shed in repairs
and improvements to tpe roofs in the East end of our building» the
Board of DIrectors, at their meeting of December 8, 1947, authorized
the borrowing fro m any bank or banks such sums, not exceeding $50,000,
as may be required to pay the cost of repairs nON' oompleted for this
corporation.
An addl tional toilet flxture vvas ao~deo. in each of the boYS·1 and. girls ff
