I think that it is different in terms of adverb positioning.
And about
'where is our class's stall?'
Shouldn't it be 'class' stall'?
Like Archimedes' Principle.....Is it because it's singular while Archimedes is, well, a name?

1-- Adverbs can generally be placed in 2 or 3 positions. These are OK:
I did it happily. I am busily doing my work.
I happily did it. I am busily my work busilly.
2-- Is it because it's singular while Archimedes is, well, a name? -- Yes, and also because it is a classical name, which is the only place apostrophe-only after a singular noun ending in -s is still g
