For Sidney the years of World War II brought growth the town had not experienced in its entire history. lt was apparent more classrooms must be built. ln response to the need, a new addition was built onto the grade school in North Sidney. However, this was not the end of school expan- sion. With 1949 came the discovery of oil in the Panhandle and another wave of population. To meet the crowded schoolroom situation two beauti- ful grade school buildings were built in Central Sidney, 1951, and South Sidney, 1953. By 1954 the population surge reached the iunior and senior high levels and the third new building was com- pleted by September of 1955. To have excellent educational facilities available make the student body and the faculty grateful for the foresight of the school board and generosity of the taxpayers who willingly provide the tools of good education. lt is with pride we expound the educational facilities in our community. .4- Better chools Superintendent Orrin J. Weymouth has been, ever since he became head of the Sidney Public School System in 1944, an ardent promoter of better educa- tion. It was under his able leadership that the school expansion program origi- nated. His untiring efforts and his lasting faith in the people of Sidney have made possible the many educa- tional advantages which are available to both the chil- dren and adults in this com- munity. lvmal. umv - ...nl
