ver -QQ FARRELL SCHOOL g When progressive civic leaders of the Borough of Farrell acted to crystal- lize their plans for making Farrell a third class city with the beginning of the year 1932, the administrative and educational systems were open for inspection. A close inspection of the schools soon revealed that the educational system had kept pace with the borough's industrial and economic development, The firmness of the foundation upon which the school leaders have built gave conlidence to civic leaders that the school system would continue to meet the educational needs of the city's young. The Borough of Farrell had its inception in l9Ol and during that same year two frame school buildings were erected. From that beginning the school system has expanded until it includes four modern grade buildings, a special building for the Seventh grade, and the Junior-Senior High which is home for students from the Eighth to the Twelfth grades. Not only does the physical equipment of the school system compare favor- ably with other progressive third class cities, but the system is also modern and up-to-date in its curriculum and methods. All requirements of the state in regards to courses are complied with, while advanced strides have been made in several special iields.

l , , 5 lf OUR CITY The student of ancient history will find in his study of the achievements of the early Greeks that the glory of the old city of Athens was due to its great leaders. People of Farrell can easily understand this, for it has been under the direction of progressive leaders that Farrell has advanced to a third class city from a straggling cluster of homes and business houses within a period of thirty years. The year of 1932 will be an especially memorable one in the history of Farrell, for it was on January 3, 1932, that the Borough of Farrell ceased to exist and Farrell, the third class city, became a reality. The move, coming as it did during trying economic conditions, was further evidence that the city's leaders were building firmly for the future. It would be unfair to give major credit to any individual or group of in- dividuals for Farrell's rapid advance. The third class city classification has been the dream and goal of Farrell's public officials since the borough was incor- porated. However, it was under the unselfish guidance of a borough administration composed of Clyde Scowden, burgess: Andrew Stefanak, Andrew Wilson, George Davis, John Balach, George Renshaw, Anthony Pintar, Nick Santell, Andrew Bobby and Carl Lubbe, councilmen, and Joseph Cantelupe, treasurer, that the Hnal steps were taken. These men realized that old political lines would be broken down by the provisions of the third class city code, but they gladly took the step in the interest of the community. When the voters went to the polls to name a new administration, Joseph Franek, a resident of the borough for many years and an ardent worker in be- half of the community, was named mayor. Councilmen chosen were all of established repute in some line of endeavor who, time after time, had proved that they had the best interests of the community at heart. They are: Lewis Levine, Michael Nevant, Harry Gerber, and John Krauss. John Kaliney was named city controller. Joseph Cantelupe was returned as city treasurer. Since taking office the new administration has acted with the same wisdom and forethought as their predecessors and the continued progress of Farrell as a third class city is assured. -William J.
