I 1lFlIHllIE S1ItZllHl1ID4ID1lL This airplane view shows the central group of buildings. On the right is Old Central, completed in 1889. ln the spring of 1890 a. class of twelve was graduated, the largest for those years. Classes ordinarily numbered from four to seven. Before 1910 increased enrollment had overcrowded the building to the point where larger quarters were needed. The completion of a new building, in the immediate foreground of the cut, saw a graduating class of twenty- three. At this time Miss Nellie H-arker, now in Ventral third grade, had been teaching in Central for several years. Within five years classes had doubled in size. Building capacity was again overtaxed. By 1920 classes of sixty were being graduated. 1922 saw the completion of the new high school building, occupying the north half of the block. Mr. R. F. Grose had been teaching in VVatertown for ten years, and Miss Ayleen Goepfert was now teaching in the high school, while Misses Adah Minard, Sarah Tarbell, Georgia Vaux and Mrs. Blanche Gerhard were in the grades. Graduating classes have shown steady increase in size. For the past six years the senior classes have numbered 101, 123, 121, 131, 132, 150. Half of the total city enrollment-an average of more than twelve hundred pupils-are at work every day in this central group of buildings. Old Central houses six grades. Most of the junior high-class work is in their own building, with practical arts Work i11 the senior high shops and laboratories. With a. physical plant uncxcelled, perhaps unequaled, in the state, a modern curriculum is oifered. Instructors of broad educational background and fine professional standing have maintained high scholastic standards and at the same time encouraged participation in a wide range of worth-while extra- curricular activities. Vlfatertown has made a creditable showing in forensics, dramaties, music, journalism and the minor as well as major sports, and the faculty can take p1'ide in the fact that interests developed in the junior and senior high schools have carried through to real achievement in college and after-school life. 12
