Of this sum $1 1 0 was paid as salary to each of the k teachers. The prin- cipal was paid $850. In 1926 the school building was doubled in size by an addition on the south side. In a letter from Alvin R. Dunbar, principal in 1926-1927 he says, We conducted school that year in the old Grange Hall for a month or so, waiting for the addition to be completed. There were about 150 pupils in the whole school at the time. I remember all the dissension of some of the townspeople when we decided to dedicate the new gymnasium by holding a dance in it. The idea of having a dance in the school was unheard of, but we had many more after that. Steadily the courses offered in the curriculum were increased. Sepa- rate Art and Music Departments were instituted in 1931. The Commercial Department was introduced in 1939, the Agriculture and Homemaking in 1942. We became a centralized school district in 19l 2 including parts of Independence, Willing, and West Union townships. Our modem elementary building was erected on the present location and dedicated in 1950. To this a fine high school addition was added in 1956 so that now in 1962 our 300 pupils enjoy very fine facilities. WCS is indeed a pleasant place in which to spend one's achool days.

Kennedy Dec. 6, 1961 at a surprise party at Sun Inside, Monterey, Mass, marking Mr. White's 90th birthday. In a telegram the President stated: My very best wishes to you on your 90th birthday. May you enjoy happiness on your birthday and for many years to come. About 20 guests honored Mr. White, the elder statesman of the Berkshire Co. Democratic Committee in recog- nition of his untiring work for the Democratic party. Mr. White was principal at Whites- ville at the time the Regents Exams were started here, about 1895-6. Later he taught at Patterson, N. Y. and at Corawall-on-the-Hudson before going to New York City in the early 1900s. His field was American History and Civics. He was Vice-Principal of the Morris High School in the Bronx for several years and at the time of his retirement in 19l l was Acting Principal of the Pox St. Annex of Morris High. During World War II he taught Am. Hist, and Civics in the Navy R0TC pro- gram at Dickinson College at Carlisle, Penna, and stayed there for another year or two after the war. Since then he has lived In retirement at Monterey. He was a graduate of Alfred Uni- versity and did graduate work at Columbia University. He was Albany representative of the New York City Teachers Association many years—a clever lobbyist, according to many members of the Legislature. We are proud to take this oppor- tunity to cite his achievements. 7 This entire page is sponsored by KRAMER'S JEWEILRY AND INSURANCE
