Om' 5619001 fyfiem By WILLIAM C. KUTZ, Supervising Principal HE future growth and development of Wilson High School looks bright and cheerful because of the facilities offered hy the new six-room addition pro- viding much needed laboratory and shop space. However, the increase in en- rollment in grades of the high school level, brought about by recent and prospective changes in the Child Labor Laws, demands additional classroom space. If P.VV.A. continues, it may he possible in the near future, to provide for the necessary classroom space which will bring about facilities to meet the demands of the next ten years. The Industrial Arts Curriculum is being reorganized to meet the demands of the ever-increasing number of hoys and girls who find themselves best fitted for general occupations in industry. Here is offered an opportunity to find voca- tional aptitudes in Woodwork, metal, electrical trades. Auto mechanics and print- ing are seriously being considered. Boys in vocational agriculture have a splendid opportunity in farm mechanics. The Vocational Agriculture course introduced this term has been of great value to the forty-five hoys who enrolled for the first time. Their projects in the summer will carry evidence of the future possibilities in agriculture as experts in chemistry of the soil, government investigators of all types in related fields, agents, managers, salesmen in rural co-operatives, teachers of engineers, and others. The commercial curriculum is heing reorganized to meet the present demands of the everyday business world. Aside from the main subjects, work units of a practical nature are being established. Opportunities for office work, mimeograph- ing, operation of adding machine with ledger posting device, and office filing are heing provided. Science will he presented in hetter form. Those preparing for college find here Iahoratories equipped on a par with leading university laboratories. Art, too long hampered by its undesirable location for class work on the balcony of the auditorium, has been given a new location in a classroom with plenty of light, new desks, and equipment. A school nurse is expected to he added to the teaching staff beginning with the 1957-58 term. Library facilities are to he expanded. English, Languages, Science, Mathematics, Social Sciences will he taught upon a high plane by a competent, efficient, progressive, well-trained teaching staff. May Wilson High School continue to maintain a prominent place in edu- cational activities, such as scholastic contests, debating, puhiic speaking, athletics, and radio broadcasting. As students leave this Alma Mater may they also recall with pride the edu- cational guidance given hy a sympathetic, efficient, progressive, well-trained teach- ing staff.
