Our School This year, 1937-1938, is White Plains’ tenth year to function as an ac- credited high school. During this period about one hundred seventy-five boys and girls have completed the high school course. Scores of others have done some high school work. The school is proud of her former stu- dents and especially of her graduates. The White Plains school has had a prominent part in the training of some of the finest young citizens of this area. The school faces even a brighter future. This prediction is based upon the following hopeful signs of progress: 1. The school is reaching and holding an ever increasing number of boys and girls. The Senior-Ill class of this year has twenty-two members. This is the largest graduating class in the history of the school. 2. The program of work offered in the school is expanding to fill real needs in the lives of the pupils. For instance, this year a practical course in typing is being offered. 3. The teaching is being dene by the best trained faculty in the history of the school. 4. The physical plant improves as the years go by. Along this line a modern library, two new class rooms, a fine play ground, and an electric timing system might be mentioned as milestones of progress. 5. Better roads and a fine fleet of safe and comfortable buses tend to widen the area served by the school. 6. The most promising sign of progress is the increased interest in education manifested by parents and other citizens who live in the area served by the school. The future progress of the White Plains school can be whatever the people of Choc- colocco Valley want it to be. 7. Finally, it may be observed that public officials including the County Superintendent and Board of Education, members of Legislature, and local board of trustees are showing interest in education that brightens the future of White Plains.
