1939 OUR SCHOOL As the third class to graduate from our school in the new building, we, Seniors of 1939, wish to call to the attention of the readers of this annual, the improvements and progress made during the past few years. No more than five years ago, in front of the school house was a barren space used as a playground and run-way for pupils and pedestrians. Now it is a grassy lawn with flowers along its borders. Formerly the building was too small, and equipped inadequately to meet the demands of teachers and students engaged in the usual high school work. It has now become, through additions and internal improvements, a modern school with distinct advantages over many schools of its size and ranking. Also, since 1936, our school has held a continuous commission granted by the State Board of Education, which commission places it in the upper bracket of consolidated schools in Indiana. Our School Boy Patrol and our Student Council, both organized this year, are further proofs of progress. We can sincerely say we are proud of our school. May it continue its development in the years to come. Mr. Ivan Cheever succeeded Mr. Simon Groet as trustee for Keener Twp. this year. Mr. Cheever will guide the policies of our school and our destinies financially for the next four years. Editor in Chief. Page Thirteen
