THIS IS NORTH CENTRAL In 1956. when North Central was erected in what was once a farming community but which now is a densely populated suburban area, the new building was considered adequate for the needs of Washing- ton Township for at least ten years. But now, five years later, the school is crowded to capacity with I 700 pupils and 92 faculty members. The reputation acquired by the new school, start- ing from the time it opened, attracted many educa- tionally-minded parents and created an unprece- dented building boom in the community. As a result, enrollment in 1961-62 is anticipated to reach 1800 with corresponding increases expected yearly. When they realized the present building was out- grown, the school board and administration began discussing expansion plans. At first it was thought possible to add on to the current North Central but it soon became evident that this would be a costly procedure that would not really solve the problem. It was then decided to construct an entirely new building and hand the old one over to a junior high. When the news broke, juniors and seniors sud- denly realized that they had developed a keen school spirit, and felt unhappy to know their beloved build- ing would be handed over to lower grades. Bui sophomores looked forward with glee to being the first graduating class from the new North Central. In the meantime North Central continues its pro- gress, pioneering in new honor systems set up for library attendance and teacherless study halls. A classes are available for those who wish to go deeper into subject courses than is possible in the average group. Already, in the five years of its existence, North Central has become a school of distinction with membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and with the hon- or of being one of eleven high schools in Indiana awarded a special first class commission by the Department of Public Instruction. Kurt Behrman, Dr. Schwilck, and Duncan Campbell go over plans for the new ultra- modern high school soon to be constructed. Land that was once a cornfield is now the site for sprawling North Central. In a few years a new North Central is to be built on Road 100 and the present school will become a junior high.
