In 1878 three school levels were es- tablished: the primary, in- cluding grades 1,2,6 3; the secondary; grades 4. 5. 6 6; and the combined grammar and and advanced grades, grade 7—. In 1909 Penn introduced the town- ship high school. In 1922-23 the high school changed from a three-year to a four-year program. Classes that were graduated ranged in size from seven in 1909 to three in 1915 and to twenty-two in 1952. Graduates of the Penn Township schools and the Penn-Bernville Union District have dis- tinguished themselves in their chosen careers. Careers branch out into numerous fields: such as. United States government and state government serv- ice; the ministry; real estate; county agricultural exten- sion work; banking; law; United States Armed Forces; construction; nursing; and education. In the latter the list of college professors exceeds that of public school teachers. Here we make mention of Herbert Schell, dean of the graduate school and professor of history at the University of South Dakota: LeRoy J. Kline, supervising principal ol the schools at Camp Hill. Pa.; and Dr. Harry Stoudt. professor of biology at Temple University. We Plot Zhe Course Py Which We Sail
