Henry Wichmanowski, Principal James Bovard, Assistant Principal Mark Educational Progress “Progress” could well be the (theme of the 1958-59 school year with nine ne y teachers in the high school, the opening of the Fieler sch ool, an addition to industrial art facilities in the high school, the introduction of developmental reading in the curriculum, and the addition of wrestling as a competitive sport. The addition to the shop will house classrooms and eventually an auto shop when all the equip- ment is added. It is expected to be ready for the fall of 1959. Developmental reading was introduced in all freshman classes as a part of the English curricu- lum as a measure to increase speed and compre- hension. John Davis had the distinction of coaching the first wrestling team to compete on an interscho- lastic basis in the school’s history. With all of these additions plus many other changes in course structure, curriculum, and teach- ing procedures the school strove to keep up the high educational standards it is noted for. Edgar Miller, Supervising Principal 5
