Q S ga., Development of Midland Public Schools ...seal Eggs... Mr. W. W. Lackey, superintendent of Midland Public School, is now entering upon his twenty-fifth year of service for the people of Midland in whose interest he has labored so faithfully, so loyally, and so unself- ishly. He has devoted his life since early manhood to the development of this school and to a study of its needs and its possibilities. One has only to look at the Midland Public Schools of 1930 and compare them with the one of a quarter of a century ago to realize just how much has been done. It is true that the town of Midland itself has developed by leaps and bounds in the past few years, but the school has kept apace with its rapid development. The oil activity caused an unusual situation in the school, but the superintendent, with his foresight and his ability to meet any situation, took care of the sudden increase in enrollment and the crowded conditions. Y - When Mr. Lackey took charge of the school, the only building in the system was the one now known as North Ward. All the grades and the high school were in this one building. As the population increased, school buildings were constructed until the present system includes five buildings. South Ward was erected in l9l0: Senior High School in 19255 John M. Cowden Junior High was finished during the fall of l928: the Mexican School, a modern brick structure, was completed by the opening of the fall term of l929. Not only has the physical system of the school been taken care of, but also its rank in an educational way. ln l905, the school did not have one credit of affiliation with the State Department of Education. However, each year credits have been obtained until the school now has thirty-three, and ranks with, and beyond, many schools, its size. In 1927 the Midland Public Schools became a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and High Schools. Such development of a school system could be possible only under the guidance of a most capable and a most efficient superintendent. fx' 2 'Q .i17fNc:-. -----.i,.M,.T..n' l fig-f ,A ,le--'A 4 - M 4 - W, 'f P if rv-gf - gi lf-A fi, ii 3 avi - . : W S3 ' t fi 3 f' :Q - ' ss ' qi in ,'5 ,N , . is , . , eg .r .X S f - 2. gg., V Lfvf BLA-,dl, - - 3- l.
