I THE BOOMER namiwroiiimiiiiiiiniiiii i iiiiiiiiiiiiii WOODWARD CITY SCHOOLS Thai a few funerals ami Home lire are sometime. necessary to the progress of a city is an admitted fact. I he funerals were not necessary to Woodward’s progress hut a lire was the best thing for its schools that ever happened. On March 9th. 1910. at the convenient hour of 5:30 p. m.. after school had been dismissed and no one was in the building, the two storv box type of school house that had inadequately housed the school children of our city, rapidly, quietly but completely went up in smoke. With the old building out of the way the opposition that had before defeated all attempts to vote bonds and build a modern brick building disappeared. The entire tax-paying citizenship were united in desiring new buildings at the earliest possible moment. A bond issue of $85,000.00 was voted and two brick ward schools, of two rooms each for the first three grades, were built, one in the east and one in the west end of town. Also our fine $65,000.00 brick semi-fireproof High School and upper grades building was erected. These buildings were first occupied in the fall of 1911. With these modern buildings and facilities our schools steadily grew in the number of pupils and in efficiency. In the school year beginning in the fall of 1912 the school term was increased from eight to nine months. This forward step brought our term and course of study up to the requirements of the Stale Board of Kducalion. hi 1914 there was added to the High School a course in Domestic Science and Art. This course met with immediate favor and Domestic Art and Sewing were extended to the seventh and eighth grades. It i. the desire of the Board of Education to add two other courses as soon as room and financial resources will permit, viz.. Manual Training and a Business Course, embracing Stenography, Typewriting ami Commercial Bookkeeping. Vi ilh every room in all of our buildings occupied and many overcrowded, with our school population increasing rapidly, with students from our own and surrounding counties choosing Woodward for their High School education we are planning for additional buildings on the unit sy stem. The first of two unit rooms will be built this summer and be ready for use next fall. The citizens of Woodward have never yet refused any reasonable request for funds for the betterment of our schools, and we feel safe in saying they never will. This spirit of progressiveness coupled with the enthusiasm of our fine student body will always keep Woodward City schools in the front rank. C. E. SHARP, President Board ol Education. 1111‘t' 11 • i!! II i l,iui.i. I' 1917
