The extension on the boiler room is underway to house the new heating system. Very evident is the giant "Chiller" set up near the northeast end of the track. This will be used to distribute cool air throughout ducts which are above the new ceilings to cool the building during the warm weather. During the Easter break, the third floor will receive new ducts and a new ceiling in the hallway. Additional work in the gym, school and locker rooms is expected during this period. The first and second floor hallways have an airport mezzanine look. The ceilings have been refitted with ductwork and a new smart looking ceiling and lighting array. The heating-cooling systems are being installed behind the furnace room. In this area an extension of the present furnace room is being built. Areas near the windows in each classroom have been prepared for the new heating/cooling systems distributers.

Bishop DiMarzio visited the school on September 29 for the first time. Among the gifts given to him at a luncheon was McClancy's version of a red hat!

The school is launching a capital campaign for the future of McClancy. Planning meetings to determine the needs of the school are currently being held throughout the year. A company named Semple-Bixel is organizing the campaign. The the office of the president and the development office are taking the leadership in this area.

What's going on in the parking lot? Lots of stuff! The boiler room is being expanded into the parking lot at the east end in order to house the heating and cooling systems machinery which comes along with the soundproofing of the school. The ceilings in the mall and the gym will also be altered to accomodate air conditioning ducts and soundproofing materials. Our classrooms will no longer have radiators near the windows. As a matter of fact, the windows will be replaced in a year's time. Other alterations will be noticed eventually in the hallway ceilings and elsewhere!

The Brothers have a new residence at St. Stanislaus Parish in Maspeth. This residence replaces the one at Regina Pacis in Brooklyn. No more B-Q expressway for Brother Donald!

A beautiful new 20 foot hanging/painting depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus is now displayed on the right of the main entrance to the school. This was painted by a Brother in England.

The mall has a new ceiling replacing the former dropped tile ceiling. Above the ceiling are air conditioning ducts and soundproofing material.

Reports, transcripts, data bases for McClancy have a new look. With the demise of the UAPC's system, McClancy switched to an in-house program called Administrative Plus. The entire system has been installed and updated by Brothers Lucien and Ron!

What used to be a teachers' lunchroom in the school cafeteria is now being made into a campus ministry office.

A Board of Governors for McClancy has been appointed by the Provincial Council this year. Besides the president and principal of the school, members who have expertise in Church and Education fields, financial administration, capital plant/construction, public relations and marketing, public and private business, corporate relations and law are represented.

Three new teachers have been added to the faculty: Pressie DeMontero, a science teacher; Christina Constanza, a Spanish teacher; William Biangasso, a Social Studies teacher.

A new Board of Governors has been appointed under the leadership of the President of the School.

A new campus ministry program led by Mr. Olivard has been established this year.

Mr. Nick Melito has been named as an Assistant to the President.

Ms. Louise Robinson has become the Principal's administrative assistant; Mrs. Susan Schook has become the new administrative assistant in the Office of Advancement and Alumni.

Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Tripp, the hallways have a bright new look!

Room 309, the Computer Room on the third floor, has a new look since the remodeling in the summer.
