PRINCIPAL THOMAS P. W. THOMAS THE PRINCIPAL’S HOME The principal s home, which is located next to the school, is a great convenience to the principal. It enables him to be within reach if someone happens to call after school hours. It was built in 1925 under the contract of Spang and Wherry, Westville. The architect was Mr. Harvey Skadden of Danville. Westville was one of the first schools in Illinois to construct a principal's home next to the school. It is now the plan of the majority of high schools in Illinois. Mr. Thomas, who has M.A., B.S., A.B., and M.S. degrees, has been with us for twelve years. During his first eight years he taught in the science department; the other four he has been principal and also helping in the science department. Our school has progressed a great deal since he has been principal. This is due to his cooperation with the faculty, school board, and students.
