At the top of the arch the * school shield will be fixed, and there will also be an appropriate inscription, while the names of the fallen will be iecorded on cast bronze. The arch will face Avenue Road, and two quadrants swinging in to the entrance will give a space of 58 feet. On the ends of the quadrants an electric light will be fixed in a standard. The height of the archway is 25 feet, and its simple design is one which will make a very suitable memorial.
