The five members were: Ira White, Wallace Foster Elack, Howard Keigwin and Louis —-X Ih 192 T he people of the community, realizing the need for ite e Syedl fecTl ies, proposed to float a bond issue. After some ‘ 3 £j a $90,000 bond issue was approved. w he'rtew'itigh School building was completed at a cost of $105,000 and opened in January, 1923. The first principal in the new building was Charles Melton. In 1924, Walnut Community High School was recognized as eligible for membership in the North Central Association, and has been unconditionally accredited member since that time. It is also accredited by the University of Illinois and the State Department of Public Instruction. There has been a continuous program of improvement to the building and grounds. The campus is now one of the most beautiful spots in town. The past year a new set of curtains and Venetian blinds was added to,the auditorium, new musical instruments added to the music department, and a continual supply of new music for the department, and new books and magazines for the library have been added. The two main features this year were the lighting of the football field for night games, and the addition of the chemistry department. In 1890, the teaching staff consisted of two teachers for 33 students. In 1948, there is a faculty of nine members for the 140 students. With the class of 1948, W. C. H. S. will have served approximately 2340 students, including 933 graduates. We hope to see more and larger graduating classes make use of W. C. H. S. in the years to come.
