TWENTY YEARS AFTER ln addition to the school in Victorville, there are now two other high schools in the district-Big Bear High School, located at Pine Knot, and Twenty-Nine Palms High School at Twenty-Nine Palms. ln l933-34 Big Bear High School was accredited. This year the school is housed in its own plant. The district voted a special tax for the purpose of securing a site, and the Eureka Camp was purchased. Through the assist- ance of the WPA it has been possible to provide a building for each of the three teachers, a social hall, a recreation hall for the girls, garages, and a physical education room. When the WPA project is finished the school will have an athletic field and tennis courts. Last summer the board accepted the Twenty-Nine Palms district in order to provide the children with the opportunity of securing a high school education. High school classes had been maintained in the grammar school previous to this year. Since the state law does not permit more than two years of high school work to be given in a grammar school district, it was necessary for them to unite with a high school district. From a small beginning of nineteen pupils and three teach- ers in l9l 5, our high school district has grown to one of three high schools and fourteen teachers and 287 pupils-Victor Valley Union High School at Victorville with nine teachers and 225 pupils, Big Bear High School at Pine Knot with three teachers and forty pupilsg and Twenty-Nine Palms with two teachers and twenty-two pupils. The district maintains seven school buses--six at Victor- ville and one at Big Bear. Some students ride as far as seventy miles a day. We hope that the next twenty years will see as much change and development in our school as the last twenty years. We feel sure that changes will come and that our school will continue to progress with the needs of its pupils in order that it may educate for living. -Condensed from an article by Principal M. l. Harkness in the December 20 number of the Victor Valley News-Herald
