Through Them We Learn The North Platte board of education saw many of its dreams come to realiza- tion during 1953-1954. These hard working men saw the new Longfellow school, and addi- tions to other grade schools, open with shouts of glee. This building expansion lessened the number of students in classrooms and provided more indi- vidual attention for students. Modern classrooms were added to Cleveland, ing motion picture film library, and a 40-passenger school bus. The board is continuing the hot lunch program in both Senior and Junior High School. The board cites the purchase of four new pianos as one of the needed improvements of the year. Two of these pianos are in Senior High School, one in Junior High School, and one at Long- fellow School. An annual responsibility of the EDUCATION PLANNERS. Otto Oakes, superintendent, York Hinman, J. J. Swanson, vice-president, Dr. G. F. Wcxltemath, president, John Alexander, Bob Watson, and Dr. L.

Should the ever increasing en- rolment continue, more new schools will have to be built and by the time the new crop reaches high school an addition will be needed there. The school fathers have seen a number of projects develop this past year. Among the recent accomplish- ments are the school additions, a city- wide school safety program, an increas- -3- school board is the task of taking a de- tailed card inventory ofall school equip- ment.
