1942: COMMUNITY SERVICE INTRODUCED TO THE CURRICULUM

Poster text:

Founder of the Community Service program, teacher Nora Hodges said, “It is hoped that this will give you a new sense of your own value with a different meaning than book learning can.”

During WWII, as part of the program, students spend their summers as farm laborers in New York State, replacing laborers who had gone to war.
