t EDITORIAL A CHANGI; FOR THE BETTER This year a great many changes have been introduced in Windsor Locks High School. First, we have moved from the old and familiar building on Church Street to the spacious and modern facilities on Center Street. Prior to the Christmas vacation the students were given a guided tour through this new school, and on January 3 classes were held there for the first time. Our new school is designed adequately to care for all the needs of its students. The science rooms and the library, for example, are amply furnished with up-to-date equipment. Modern facilities have been provided for the instruction of all the various phases cf homemaking and industrial arts. Our new gymnasium is a treasure. Here it is possible to carry on two gym classes at the same time without any interference whatsoever. Of course, during the basketball season we were very proud and happy to show it elf to visiting schools. And we must not forget our beautiful auditorium. Luxuriously designed, it sufficiently houses the student body and will continue to do so as our enrollment steadily increases in the years to come. Our present Senior Class will be honored to graduate there in June. Aside from the change of the building itself, many other improvements have been made. There are now five, instead of three, courses of study available for all students to choose from. These curricula—general, college, commercial, homemaking, and indus¬ trial arts—are organized to give students the best possible preparation for the future. For the enjoyment of all the students, a system of clubs has been constituted. The first phase of this system enables each student to select a club according to his individual interests. There are, however, three clubs to which membership is purely elective: The National Honor Society, the Student Council, and the Athletic Association. Adjusting to these new surroundings was not a difficult task, for our teachers and cur classmates did not change, and after all, it is these people who really make up our school. To show our appreciation for our beautiful new school we must all try to do our best and take full advantage of all the opportunities it offers. Mary Corrow 57 Joseph Kelly 58
