'il' l,- ' R. A. Klaus Superintendent EACH succeeding year should show reasonable growth and progress. Measured by the accepted standards of secondary schools, the school year 1937-1938 has been essentially a year of steadfast progress. Scho- lastic improvement has been continued through a constantly enriched and better differentiated curriculum. All departments in the school have shared in new essential equipment. High standards for teacher person- nel have been maintained. The new courses in agriculture and home making, and the extra mid- day period for the numerous and varied co-curricular activities have made for the easier and more complete orientation and adaptation of the rural pupils to every phase of school life. This splendid rural state of affairs together with the fact that the pupils from Albion, Fulton, Christiana, Sumner, and Dunkirk outnumber the pupils from Edgerton have in a sense made our school Metropolitan, Yearly the Crimson also shows change and progress. Innovations in photography, make-up and printing are again evident this year. The staff and adviser have worked long and hard to produce an annual of the traditional high quality. We want to be among the first to congratulate them. Mae Wright Cffice Head

. .W-- 'f if LIBRARY CHILD HIGH SCHOOL EDGERTON'S Child High School was named for Miss Florence Child, who purchased the site at a cost of 35,700 and gave 348,000 for the building itself. It was open for occupancy in September 1909. Until that time there seemed to be little possibility of a new high school as there was much indecision over whether to build a centrally-located building or ward schools in various parts of Edgerton. There have been many improvements in the high school since it was first built. One of these, is the combination study hall and library. Many new books were added this year, extending into the field of English, Science, Economics, Chemistry, and Literature. Front and Rear Views of High School ary' .L
