The school is physically adapted to offer all the: advantages of a complete high school training to the youth of our community. It is beautifully located on a slight bluff, several blocks from the banks of the Susquehanna River in the center of a campus of 43 acres. Three, courses of instruction are offered, Academic, Commercial and Practical Arts. A group of 56 members constitutes the faculty of the school. In the six years since the school has been organized 1354 girls and boys have been graduated from this institution. These sons and daughters are repre- senting the school in institutions of higher education, or are establishing themselves in the industrial and commercial activities of this or other communities. Representatives in universities and colleges are found all over the country-Princeton in the east, University of Oregon in the west, Dartmouth in New England, and University of Alabama in the south, and in scores of colleges, large and small, in various sections. The school is proud of its record scholastically, its successes in the athletic Held, and its splendid group of alumni. Each year as it passes contributes its share to the history and tradition around which centers the fond memories of those who have been so fortunate as to spend three happy years in the William Penn High School.
