THF DPCTHIM By 1916 the faculty had increased to eighteen, the June enrollment to 247 and the graduation class to thirty-eight. Our present principal, Mr. O. S. Thompson, entered the Compton Union High School organization in 1916. At that time there were eighteen in the faculty, among them Mr. Fred Lueders, who became a member in 1 9 1 2. and Miss Alice Tupman, who entered in 1915. The student body had a total of 302 members. In the fourteen years of Mr. Thompson ' s principalship the school has ex- perienced a continuous growth, with only slight retardations, during the war and at the withdrawal of Watts from the Union District in 1925. In 1921 there were twenty faculty members, a June enrollment of 489, and a graduating class of sixty four. At the beginning of the year 1925 the need for a larger high school was re- ognized. The faculty had increased in number to forty-five, and the enroll- ment to 972. Plans for new bulidings were made. The Administration building was built in 1926. It was decided that the old building should be moved back to where the junior college now stands, and the Home Economics building was moved from where the Lion is now. The old structure was remodeled in 1927 and is now used by the Junior College. Also, the boy ' s and girl ' s gymnasium were erected that year. The present Compton Union High School District has one of the best high school and college plants in the State of California. It is composed of buildings, athletic fields and a track which is recognized as one of the best in the Unite d States. The Disrict also owns five junior high school sites upon which are being built well equipped junior high school plants. The total enroll- ment at the present time in the junior college and senior high school is approxi- mately, 2,400. With the opening of the junior high schools in 1930, there will be about 4,000 students enrolled in the Secondary System. The grounds attract many favorable comments from visitors because of ihe variety of shurbs and flowers which surround the building. Recent enlarge- ments include additions to the science and music buildings, a new student body and a bus garage, transportation being provided for the students by 12 busses. This great development in the High School District has been due to Mr. Thompson and the Board, whose members during the greater part of this advancement have been M. H. J. Mayo who is now President of the Board, Mr. Andrew Herskind. Clerk, Mrs. Hattie Hellmers. Mr. Claude Reber, and Mr. I. F. Petterson who make up the present Board. Other men also responsible for much of the development who are not on the Board at the present time are Mr. H. W. McKelvey and Mr. W. H. Ramsaur. Six
