E. ADMINISTRATION MARTHA E. SILVER Secretary WAYNE TITUS Principal if?-is HERSCHEL D. WEST Executive Head MILDRED FIGGINS Secretary To the Seniors: It was but a few short years ago that you were toddling off to school as beginners, You have come a long way since then, but, in many respects, you are still beginners. This applies equally well to those of you who next year expect to be college freshmen, apprentice tradesmen, or student nurses. Your search for knowledge should be iust as never ending as was the search for the Holy Grail. The experiences you have acquired in school are truly an arch to build upon in the future. Your prosperity and happiness will be tied to the goals you set for yourself in life. Be zealous in your efforts to acquire the respect and admiration of all with whom you come in contact. To do these things is but to assure you a place in the niche of time and in the hearts of men. E. Wayne Titus High School Principal March l5, l957 I

The current year is one of the most important in the development ot Anderson High School since l93O, the year ot the initial consolidation ot the one room schools. Some emphasis is devoted to current growth and development in this issue. More than a year ago consideration was initiated concerning the advantages to all that might be realized through a combination ot the Anderson and the Newton School Districts. Both Boards of Education made independent studies ot the proposal. A series of ioint board meetings were conducted. Early in 1957 the Boards ot Education reached agreement that the merger would be advanta- geous to both districts. The proposal was presented to the patrons of the communities through the newspapers and at meetings ot the various organizations ot the communities. The new district became effective on April 3, l957, by action of the County Board ot Education. Members appointed to serve on the new board of education are Mr. Judd, Mr. Wright and Mr. Graf from the Anderson Board and Mr. Burger and Mr. Muhl- berger from the Newtown Board of Education. lt is due to this development that the Board members and administrative personnel of both districts appear in this publication. This new school district, developed through consolidation with Newtown, is the major educational advancement in this area since i929-30. The i957-58 enrollment will probably exceed 2700 pupils. The district will have a tax duplicate ot about S33,000,000. The educational program is being expanded to improve the educational opportunities ot the boys and girls. Conditions generally are improving steadily. Our schools are receiving the recognition iustitied by supe- rior educational achievement attained through a good educational pro- gram, growth to a desirable size, financial ability and a willing public. We thank sincerely the people ot this comminity tor their support and encouragement in these developments. NEWTOWN BOARD OF EDUCATION James Traquair P. C. Muhlberger Mary Catherine Wersel A. M.
