The Twentieth Century High School URING these days of spectacular events, such as breath taking trans-Atlantic flights, conquering of the English Channel, record-breaking speed in railway transportation (The Twentieth Century Limited), Brookville High School, too, has been making spectacular advance. Our achievements may be seen by turning the pages of this book. We have kept pace with the twentieth century by achieving greater scholastic standing. The proof of this is shown by the fact that Brookville High School has been placed on the list of Accredited Secondary Schools of the Middle States and Maryland. The importance of this can be seen in the diagram at the end of this article. Another achievement in the scholastic standing is the acceptance of Brookville High School as a member of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. We have improved our equipment. Our laboratory has the modern implements necessary for science. Our library has most of the latest books and many excellent reference books and encyclopedias. Our auditorium, with its curtain, plaques and other improvements, is an art museum in itself. As a result of these improvements, our attendance in the High School has increased from 163 students in 1912 to 472 in 1928. Briefly, we have raised our scholastic standing, we have improved our equipment, we have increased our numbers. In other words we are a twentieth century High School.
