In 1962, five years.after the construction of Manhattan High School, a need is felt for an addition. As chairman of the Activities Committee of the Com- mission on Secondary Schools for the North Central Association, Mr. Bishop has spoken in many larger cities during the 1961-1962 year. Mr. XV. C. Robinson, Superintendent of Schools, has advocated many educational and building im- provements in Manhattan schools. Since Mr. Robinson joined the Manhattan school system in 1954, there has been a forty-two percent increase in student population. To comply with this in- crease, he has encouraged a continued expansion program of constructing needed classrooms, seventy-five have been completed since 19555 Similarly, curriculum and staff personnel have been upgraded.
