Local growth means school r The world becomes more complex every second. The facts and computations must be handled by computer. It has been estimated that by 1980, the population of the world will be 4 billion, and by the year 2000 there will be six billion people on the earth. Plainfield is experiencing a growth in its community and a growth in the schools. This expansion is being met by the construction of a new grade school and an addition to the high school. The enrollment of the high school has increased from 1100 to 1300 students. Sched- ules are completed by computer. We must carry a plas- tic identification card. We have switched to seven hours a day because of shortage of classroom space. Besides this growth in numbers and change in sys- tem, high school should be a time of expansion for every individual. It is now that we experience an expansion of ideas and experiences.
