Carroll, H. Partridge In the latter part of the eighteenth century, as in earlier times, the pioneers in Western New York did not forget that there was something to be looked to beyond the supplying of their physical needs. The first teacher that they employed in this vicinity went from house to house imparting knowledge to the 10Ql.ffll well as she could. Her qualifications were an excellent moral character and splendld physical qualities. Methods of teaching were improved and other important developments effected the selection and organization of materials for teaching and learning. Special types of work, such as manual training, homemaking and office work were lntroducedg and school systems began to vie with each other on offering special opportunities and in retaining the largest possible number of pupils in the high school. Practical cours es were added to the curriculum as well as cultural studies. Outside reading and research were stressed to help develop critical thinking and tolerance as well as for personal enjoyment. These changes brought into the high schools an increasing number of pupils. ' All this represents an upward expansion of mass education that is without pre- cedence in the history of the world. What this expansion may mean to the future of the United States an to this democratic form of government would be diffucult to conjecture. But one thing is certain, the next generation will be easily the most extensively schooled generation the world has ever known. But with all this accumu- lation of knowledge, it is hoped that a better understanding of the problems facing the world today will be had and that each individual will be prepared to do his share toward making a better country in which to live.

Who was that, whofjust went around the corner? Mr. Galser, and he had his camera! All this hustle has kept the students and faculty just a-humming this year. The Seniors, who make up the yearbook staff, have been in constant cooperation with Miss French and Mr. Galser. Due to the fact that the yearbook last year won second place in the State Contest, we have been inspired to make a bigger and better yearbook for 1942. The Seniors, being deprived of their trip to Washington, due tions, voted unanimously to contribute S50 to this yearbook, a worthy cause in their estimation. to the war condi We, as a class, feel first credit should be given where it is due. With this thought being considered, we feel that we owe much to Miss French and Mr. Gaiser. They have been very congenial when asked to offer any suggestions about Vis com- position, and have worked wholeheartedly to reach the same goal for which we have so fervently strlven. 7 IEIINGHI
