When this school issued the first Annual the name Progress was selected as being symbolic of the spirit and work of the school.. Sub- sequent developments have proved that the name was well chosen. When the little group of progressives in the local industrial field first projected the idea of trade extension training in this location even they, possessed of foresight and faith as they undoubtedly were, did not dream that their effort would be the germ from which would develop such an institution of splendid service. Shortly after the idea was put in practice it became apparent that the demand was going to be too great for the institution as then organized, to care for so the Board of Education was appealed to and an Elementary Evening School was formed. Later the work merged into the high school type and the school was organized into a regular Evening High School which was known as the Labor Temple Evening High School. About four years ago, at the suggestion of the principal, the name was changed to that of the Maple Ave. Evening High School as being more appropriate. Now, once again, a long step forward has been taken. A new Trade Extension Department has been created in the school system and Sadie C. Atherton, principal of this school has been appointed as Co-ordinator. This means that this school has been made the center of Trade Exten- sion Training with day and night classes. Verily the name Progress has not been misapplied.
