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.

The first major activity held for the financial welfare of the class was the Junior play, 'Oh Promise Me . The profit from this started the banking account. At this time our one big hope and ambition was to raise money in order that we might climax our Senior year by a trip to Washington. The year proved to be so good that we purchased our class rings of which we are all proud. We brought the year4s work to a close by a picnic held at Roseland Park. 1941 and 1942 meant school again but now we were older and more dignified Seniors. There was a great deal of work to be accomplished and we began by gaining Q70 from a Curtis Publishing Campaign. The main event of this year was our Senior Play, M'L1ss' which proved to be a smashing success. As we were still planning to go to Washington, the money netted from this was just what we needed to complete our funds for the trip, but the war hindered our plans. Every Senior cherished fond recollections of many happy hours at A.C.S. of course, we have not been an angelic group iwhich the teachers will verify! but, we have had lots of fun and will never forget our beloved Alma Mater. 10
