H 'Wiz 1 CHARLESTOWN HAS GROWING PAINS During this school year of l94O-41, great changes have come to Charles- town. We have been able to see it changing from a rural to an industrial community. Many local farms have passed into the hands ot the United States Government, which with the aid ot the Ordnance Department and E. l. du Pont de Nemours G Company is building the largest smokeless powder plant in the world just outside our city limits. The population of Charlestown has increased in one year from 950 to 3,50U. This has meant that many strangers have come into our community, most of whom live in trailers. Anywhere you look can be seen a trailer camp. Most obvious changes are the vast number of automobiles lnearly every state is represented? lining our streets and in the school yard, new stores and houses going up, many strangers on the sidewalks, and the larger number of trains and buses coming to our town. The enrollment of our school on September 9 was 380, which is about normal. This increased to 650 by April, and one hundred and titty other students have entered and withdrawn during the school year. It is needless to say that there have been crowded conditions. We hope Charlestown will survive its growing pains, and develop into a model community. This will mean a new and larger schoolhouse and play- ground located outside the business district. Four
