.ORGANI zur on ,AND DEVBLQPMBNT or THE ,CENTRAL gum QN .arcs .QCHQQL A few years ago the people of the Central Union High district had no high school to which they might send their 'll and kindness children. They had to depend on the good wi . of the Kerman and Fresno High Schools for the education of their children. Several ears ago the Kerman High School endeavored tof Y persuade some of our grammar schools to goin her high school district, but refused to move the high school site, where it would be convenient for our grammar schools. It washeaiily ' t' i seen that enough territory surrounded a prospec ive g school to make a wealthier district than the Kerman High School District. Now, the people of the Central Union High School District take pride in their good schools and they wanted a good high school that would meet the needs of the Community, so some of the enthusiastic men of the Houghton, n ed a series Roosevelt, Pershing, and Barstow districts arra g of mass meetings in the various school houses. At these meetings, prominent men spoke and worked for the forming of a high school. When these meetings had accomplished their purpose, and the new district formed, a bond issue, for one h d d and fift thousand dollars was voted, in the early un re y part of 1922. This money was to be spent for a new modern t d and the organi- high school. After the bond issue was vo e a zation of the new high school started, Herndon and Teague ents ered the Central Union High School District through petition.' This made thB Central Union High School six districts instead of four., By the end of September 1922 the Central Union High 2 . t t a buildings and School district had construe ed some empor ry V 88 t 1. gentrgldgnignsiigh 532331 stgiqtgdtitgrffrlgtstgggdwitgzg 'fglcig ulty of four teachers and an enrollment of seventy students. Because of the late date in opening the high school last fall, many students started to other schools before Central opened. However when it became known that many students had trans- ferred to Central and were doing first class work, the number in the high school kept increasing until, at the end of the term, there were nearly a hundredsiudents enrolled. After school opened, night classes were organized, and enrolled Qgggesinty students, most of whom were foreigners. Through nig t classes, twelve of these foreign born subjects have been able to get pepers entitling them to become citi- zens and many others wi l continue t eir work next year in English and Civics, so that they may become citizens in the near future. 'In short, the high school, in spite of the many handi- caps, to start with, has been an exceptional success. Stud- ents who came from other high schools with regret have become bohsters. A well organized student body is working well. A well organized student body is working well. A high standard of scholar-ship has been set up and a good showing made in athletics.
