Open Doors at WPCS Foreword Whitney Point Central School has its doors open a good share of the year to everyone in the Central District. Throughout the school year, some 1390 pupils enter the doors to all the different depart- ments of learning. It is the aim that everyone, upon his departure from the school, will have had the benefit of all its facilities to be used to the best advantage. There is always an open door in this school to anyone who wants to better himself in basic education, music, shop, athletics, homemaking, agriculture, commercial, and even Adult Education. The students are proud of the fine equipment in such a beautiful school. People of the community have seen the need for adequate equipment for increased enrollment over the last few years. Doors have been opened to two new wings to fit these needs. As the Class of 1956 graduates, those Seniors who have made up the plans and produced this yearbook, feel assured that future classes will find open doors hereafter for their educational needs. The staff now invites you through the school to observe what the students have done this year. Alan Schmedicke designed the cov- er of the 1956 Maroon and Gold. The open door of the WPCS auditor- ium is a fitting introduction to this year's theme - The Open Doors 2 at Whitney Point Central School.

Principal SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL CARYL E. ADAMS A NEW WING IS ADDED Construction of the new S540,000 addition began April 15, 1955. The addition consists of fourteen classrooms, an Industrial Art Shop, an Agricultural Shop, a Cafeteria, a kitchen and a gym extension.

The new kitchen, which adjoins the cafeteria, is furnished with 520,000 worth of stainless Continued Page 5 To The Seniors: Congratulations on your graduation. This is an achievement of great worth and one of which you can al- ways be proud. Graduation opens for you another door, a door through which you glimpse the op- portunities of the future with its challenges, opportunities and goals. Step through the door with a steadfast heart and a firm deter- mination that you will reach the goals ahead. Goals are standards by which one can measure his success and progress, they furnish the dynamic for the long hours of grueling effort which must be done. That is the history of human achievement. You step through a door and see a new goal. You then use this as a handhold to pull yourself to new and higher levels of accomplishment, accomplishments which you may have thought to be impossible. Accept the challenge and may your determination burn with a fierce and steady flame all challenges met, all goals at- tained. 5 Board Cf Education Seated: Carl Bird, Kenneth Stearns, Leslie Strong, Hiram Good- rich, District Superintendent.
