Uribe jaautilus tinuously since that time. ln 1922, the University of Chicago placed this school on its Co-operative Relation list. fln 1923 the school was granted a charter as the Roosevelt Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. This is an organization which was founded in 1920 by the Na- tional Association of High School Principals and corresponds to the l'hi Beta Kappa fraternity in colleges and universities. Seniors are elected to membership on the basis of four qualifications, namely: Scholarship, Lead- ership, Service, and Character. ln 1917, there was an enrollment of approximately one hundred students, which far exceeded the Board's expectations. These one hundred were distributed in the four classes as follows: 10 Seniors, 20 Juniors, 25 Sopho- mores, and 45 Freshmen. Each year there has been a steady increase in the number of students until at present there are approximately two hundred seventy enrolled, which is an increase of 170 per cent in eleven years. After the school had grown in size to make the condition rather crowded for several years, the Board of Education decided in 1925 to add four rooms to the original building. These four new rooms were used for a Domestic Science laboratory, a Biology laboratory, a class room and a boys' locker room. Several other rooms were altered and enlarged. These changes relieved the crowded condition and enabled the instructors to work unhan- dicapped by lack of room. At first a total of approximately nineteen units of school work was offered, distributed as follows: 4 units of English, A3 of l.atin, 1 of German, 1 of Home Economics, 2 of Mathematics. 2 of History, 2 of Commerce, 3 of Science, 1-2 of Physical Training, and 1-2 of Music. The gradual growth of the student body has made it possible to increase from year to year the units of work offered. Since 1917 the following have been added: 1 unit of Latin, 3 of Commerce, 1 of Science, 2 of Manual Training, and instruction in Band and Orchestra. At the present time, plans are being made to intro- duce French next September, and in time, three or four units will be given. After reading the above, one is impressed with the steady growth of the school both in size and in quality. Now, may we look into the future, as uncertain as it is, and endeavor to estimate what the school may be in the years to come. Possibly the two greatest factors insuring growth to the school are the remarkable increase of the population of the township, and the installa- tion of modern improvements of the highest type. The majority of the people who have moved into this township for residental purposes have come from the cities, and are people who believe in education and its bene- fits and, therefore, desire the best of schools for their children. This can only mean that this school will make as great strides of improvement in size and in quality in the next eleven years as it has during the eleven years just passed. Even now, the Board of Education, fully realizing this situation, is looking into the future and making plans to meet these requirements as they arrive. --Pl. E. Underbrink, Principal. 1928 ' Page nineteen
