As I was browsing around the web for images of our school, I found several that gave me a sense of how things have changed.
I personally had been back to school only once - in 1978 - 12 years after I graduated, and with the exception of one additional building, the school looked much the same. I am truly astounded at the changes that have occurred since:

the old boarding house has been torn down and a new one erected near (around) the chapel, see pictures in the links below.

A swimming pool is part of a building (New Stafford Block) that was built on the site of the old boarding house. That building also houses the new Library (which just received a new paint job in August)
(CLICK THE BACK BUTTON after using any of the links on this page)

There is a large Auditorium, and The Hall has been transformed into an administrative wing.

There are new labs, a Media Center, and several three story buildings for classes. The number of students has apparently risen to 7500.

There is a Cafeteria.

The Quad has been paved and a road for cars leads all the way to the Stafford Block.

There is a school bus service for the students

There are new sports uniforms and cheerleaders

New rules: no mobile phones in class:   OK?       

There are massive changes in the curriculum --  check out the official BCGS website HERE
