Gpening its doors to 1,950 students for the 1953-54 session F air Park High School celebrates its silver anniversary as a high school. Beginning with 722 students in 1923, it has pro- gressively developed. Today fully one fourth of its 16.531 acres in the school campus gre covered with classroom buildings. ln 1931 it was neces- sary to add Wings to the original briclq building, one for class- rooms and the other for a greatly needed auditorium. Then the pent house consisting of several rooms was built during 1937-33. Today many temporary frame buildings gre in use to take care of the extra classroom needs. The original teaching staff consisted of 29 persons. During the present school year a faculty of 67 members is necessary to fulfill the educational demands. Fair Park offers 35 courses in cultural and natural science categories. The elective subjects embrace tvvo foreign languages, music, journalism, speech, in- dustrial arts, and home economics including special classes offered to seniors only in health and first aid, and home cmd family relations. ln our present day the presentation of sub- ject matter Within our school is egually as progressive. With small amount of effort a majority of the pupils have access to a liberal education to help them prepare for modern living. Special efforts are made to develop individual personalities. Realizing the need of basic courses necessary to meet the State Board of Education's requirements for graduation, each student is carefully supervised in subject selection for the four years each spends at Fair Park. Guidance teachers under the supervision of a school Counselor make this a successful program. The resultant effect is a genuine consideration and respect by individual students for others, abilities and choices, creat- ing a democratic atmosphere.
