When the $2.5 million
Wheaton High School opened
its doors in September, 1854,
it began a new era for Mont
gomery's secondary schools.
Completely modern, it was the
"last word" in school construc-
ton. For the first time in the
countys history, federal funds
were used to help build the 45
classroom plant that included sew
en- shops, three home arts rooms.
gym, library, cafeteria, etc.
Its student body was recruited
from an area of brand new sub
divisions that a few years before
had been open fields and woods.
Wheaton's pattern of develop
ment has since been followed at
Walter Johnson and Northwood.
But in the 20 years before the
opening of Wheaton High, new
buildings at Montgomery Blair
and Bethesda Chevy Chase had in
volved only the transfer of al
ready established student bodies
and stats.
Wheaton High, however, had to
start from scratch to build its
school spirit and traditions which

Is Story of Wheaton High

are the essence of a good second
airy school.
On October &c, it held its first
Homecoming game and dance to
welcome back its "old grads" and
the three-year-old Wheaton High
came of age.
Elwood b. Mason, principal
since the schools opening, looks
back over the accomplishments of
his Wheaton pioneers" with con-
siderable pride and points to the
large number of honors which are
beginning to accumulate.
Last year, its newspaper 'The
Wheaton Scroll"walked off with
the first prize in Columbia Uni
versity's competition for second
airy school papers.
In the 1857 Montgomery Couns
ty Science Fair, eight Wheaton
students won awards, two of them
blue ribbons, and one student,
Harold Slate, went on to place
second in a national science COM
petition with his exhibit of study
of cosmic rays made with home
made telescope.
The whole science program is
outstanding, Mason feels, and
1900 of the schools student body
are taking at least one science
course.

1--WE are fortunate in this COM
munity in obtaining some of the
new facilities that we need"
Hassel commented. However,
the potal service is like a chain.
1t is dependent on each of its
links. If the postal plant in a
city to which we are sending the
mail is outmoded, that affects us
locally, because it hampers the
efficient delivery of our mail.
1T is estimated the postal
service will need some $500 build
ings during the next five years
to keep pace with the countrys
suburban growth alone. There
are many other needs too - for
equipment, new vehicles, i'm
provements in facilities, and in
other areas.
The postmaster noted that, in
connection with this, Postmaster
General Summerfield has recon-
mended to Congress moderate
postage rate increases, designed
to help put the Post Office De-
partment's finances on a sound
basis, in preparation for needs
in the years ahead in this COM
munity and elsewhere over the
nation.
