Reconstruction Program Ends; Committees Evaluate School For the past three school years. South Side High School has been torn up physically because of the great building program, Principal Weicker said. In spite of dust, noise, and occasional bitter fumes, students and faculty carried on admirably during this entire period of reno- vation. I believe sincerely that fac- ulty and students alike have been delighted with the finished product which the architects and builders have presented us. The end of construction brought the beginning of a year of evaluation for re-accredita- tion, which had been delayed for a year because of building con- ditions. In the fall, unseen by most, committees of parents, students, and teachers began analyzing the subject depart- ments and other facilities. The standards they used were set bv the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. In April representatives from the Association came to verify the findings for possible accredita- tion. 1.
