DEDICATION ★ With a deep and appreciative recognition of the innumerable opportunities which our parents have provided, and the sacrifices which they have made in making it possible for us to complete our high school career, it is with great pleasure that we dedicate this literary production to those two people who mean more to us than any others in this world —Mom and Dad. 3

History of Walnut Community High School ★ Prior to 1923, high school and grade school in Walnut were conducted in the same building. In 1917, the Illinois State Legislature passed the Community High School Law and a new Board of Education was elected. The five members were: Wallace Bass, Sr., Ira White, Foster Black, Howard Keigwin and Louis Gonigam, Sr. In 1922, the people of the community, realizing the need for increased facilities, proposed to float a bond issue. After some dissension, a $90,000 bond issue was approved. The new High School building was completed at a cost of $105,000 and opened in January, 1923. The first principal in the new building was Charles Melton. In 1924, Walnut Community High School was recognized as eligible for membership in the North Central Association, and has been unconditionally accredited member since that time. It is also accredited by the University of Illinois and the State Department of Public Instruction. There has been a continuous program of improvement to the building and grounds. The campus is now one of the most beautiful spots in town. The past year the building was almost completely redecorated and many new appliances were added to the Home Economics, Janitor and other departments. The recent acquisition of a new movie projector has launched a program of visual education. In 1890, the teaching staff consisted of two teachers for thirty-three students. In 1947, there is a faculty of nine members for the enrollment of 143 students. With the class of 1947, W.C.H.S. will have served approximately 2200 students including 909 graduates, and we hope to see more and larger graduating classes in the years to come.
