Q my DED1cA'r1oN . gs 0...... ...... COMPLETING his twenty-hfth year at Lockport Township High School, Super- intendent james M. Smith has established an enviable record characterized by efficiency and prudence. Since becoming superintendent, Mr. Smith has promoted vast improvements in our school, such as the organization of the National Honor Society, the National Athletic Scholarship Society, the Timer, the Lock, the Athletic Board of Control, and the development of an excellent modern curriculum which has placed Lockport Town- ship High School among the outstanding high schools in the state. The curriculum insures the best possible education for all students, not only for those who atrend college but also for those who seek employment. The enrollment has increased from 229 in 1925, to 622 in 1950. The larger part of the present building, including the gymnasium, was added in 1950, and the swimming pool was completed in 1941. Our superintendent is a past president of the Northeastern Division of the Illinois Education Association, and of the Will County Superintendents' and Principals, Association. He is also a member of the Board of Governors of the Illinois Associa- tion for the Crippled, and the first vice-president of the Will County Tuberculosis Association. Having been so active in Illinois education, Mr. Smith has received the honor of being included in Whos Who in American Education, Who's Who in the Central Statesj' and Who's Who in Illinois. Recently he was appointed to the Lewis College Board of Advisors, and to the Silver Cross Hospital Board of Trustees. Surely, for this unique record, Mr. Smith has earned from us the heartiest of congratulations on his Silver Anniversary. To him we proudly dedicate this, the twenty- Hfth edition of the Lock. - Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition . . . 1925-1950
