In commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the formation of Central High School District Number Three and the start of the Wellington C. Mepham High School, this year’s TREASURE CHEST has as its theme, “Twenty Years at Mepham.” This high school was named to honor Mr. Wellington C. Mepham, then District Superintendent of Schools, who was instrumental in establishing the district in the four towns of Bellmore, North Bell-more, Merrick and North Merrick. The first classes met in September 1935 and were held in the former Bellmore Grade School on Bedford Avenue. That building was used for two years until the present building was opened in September 1937. The original faculty had seven members, and six (Mr. Calhoun, Miss Berwind, Mr. Carr, Mr. Jaatinen, Mr. Tennant and Mrs. White) are still serving the district students. There was just one building, Mepham High School, until the Jerusalem Avenue and Merrick Avenue Junior High Schools were completed and opened for classes in September 1954. At that time, Central High School District Number Three assumed responsibility for the education of the seventh and eighth grades in the four towns. Mr. Wellington C. Mepham This 1955 TREASURE CHEST features some of the highlights of Mep-ham’s twenty years. The original student body, faculty and school building are shown on the end sheets, and pictures of the first Honor Society, first wrestling team and early student and administrative groups are included elsewhere.

Dedication A dedication is confined to the limits imposed by type and paper; it can not include all the accomplishments of an individual to whom credit is being given. It can, however, express a feeling of admi-x'ation and appreciation. To Dr. Frederick H. Stunt, principal of Wellington C. Mepham High School, this statement applies one hundred fold. No short dedication can possibly list all his accomplishments. He has devoted his entire professional career to service for students at Mepham. He has taught general science, physics and mathematics, and served as advisor for seniors and the TREASURE CHEST. For five years he was director of student personnel services and since July 1, 1954, he has been principal. Mepham students have felt a special admiration for and appreciation of Dr. Stunt because of his thoughtful advice on problems in various school activities and on individual problems connected with students’ programs in school and plans after graduation. They have appreciated his friendly attitude and his willingness to spend countless hours working on all phases of the school program. In grateful appreciation of numerous services performed in the past for students and the school and in anticipation of successful future years as administrator of the school, the editors dedicate the 1955 TREASURE CHEST to our principal, Dr. Frederick H. Stunt. Page two
