When enrollment in the schools in- creases overwhelmingly, the problems for you and the school board also grow. Rarely do we, the students, have a chance to express our appreciation for the many toilsome hours the board spends to give each of us the best possi- ble education. You have made possi- ble the many things we often take for granted. The school directors have obtained the best for us, and we hope that in the future we shall prove that the pains taken by you in our behalf were not in vain. MR. NORMAN D. GEORGE President of the West Chester Joint Junior- Senior High School Board Guiding Hands The age of The Little Red School- house and the hickory stick has passed into one of million dollar buildings and classroom psychology.

MR. HAROLD H. WINGERD Princeton University, A.B. University of Pennsylvania, M.S. Principal When each member of the class of 1956 looks back upon his high school years, he immediately associates you, Mr. Wingerd, because of your sincere interest in each person as an individual, with his own personal problems and needs. This interest has helped every one of us in some way in our search for success and happiness on the long road to maturity. Your confidence in us as young adults capable of accepting re- sponsibilities both at school and at home will remain with us in the future. May we cultivate the high ideals that have become a part of us through your efforts. Guidiruj Hands January 3, 1956 was not only the re- opening of school after the Christmas vacation, but it also marked the day of a very important event for all of us— your arrival, Mr. Fray, as assistant principal. Your coming to West Ches- ter is proof of the expansion in the pub- lic school system, resulting in the need for another man to help with the vast duties of the principal. From the first day of your arrival you seemed to adjust quickly and with ease to our school system. Unfortu- nately, the class of 1956 was not able to know you as well as the future classes will, but we all have recognized that your able assistance has been an asset to the administration and the student body. MR. DAVID C. FRAY Albright College, A.B. University of Pittsburgh, M.Ed. Issislant Principal 11
