HOlbrook School Closes Success
 fu[ Year

year. Not only did the past year
 exceed all previous years in num-
 bers of pupils enrolled but also
 in the quality of work done. By
 holding school in session for nine
 months instead of eight as here
 tofore, all classes were brought
 up to the standard requirements
 as outlined by the Arlzona Board
 of Education in the standard
 course of study.
 The eighth grade consisting of
 Helen Smith. Bertha Wallace,
 Arthello Bates, Lois Biggs, and
 Della Moore were all successful
 in their examinations and were
 graduated under the new require
 ments. This class should be
 given especial credit since they
 were compelled to do more than
 a regular years work in order to prepare themselves for gradua- tion. The highest honors in the class went to Della Moore, but especial mention should be made of Lois Biggs who followed up with an average standing less than one percent below her class mate. We are pleased to note that none of these completing the eighth grade are satisfied to stop with this. but all are plan ming on taking up higher work.
 Another feature to be comment ed upon is the fact that our school carried first year high school work through the entire year. We have had some of this work for several years past, but heretofore some of the studies have been omitted because of crowded class program. While our course of study is not the same in all respects as that of fered in first year Normal work, it is the same as that offered in most hlgh schools of the state m their English courses. No at tempt has been made to give the classical course which requires work Tn foreign and dead Ian Languages require recitation period of at least fortYj and that IS more time than can be given in our crowd ed curriculum. The ninth grade started work with an enrolment | ,f eleven pupils but only five re- nained to complete the year. All If these were promoted to tenth grade work.
 At the close of this year we ind the school better equipped or work and development than .ver before. Some of the faciIi- ies which have been added are complete set of playground ap- ,aratus, many new charts, ,lobes. and maps, a new sanitary lrinking fountain. and library considerably increased through he efforts of the pupils and We see no reason why uture work in the Holbrook chool should not be a very high .rade and fully up to that of chools in other towns of the tate.
 In one respect however we hink we have much room for improvement and that is in the natter of attendance. Out of he one hundred and fifty-eieht upils enrolled during the past ear the following were perfect l attendance: Warden Black, 'ay Flanigan. Harry Paulsell, Wesley Newman, Minnie Wal ice, Lloyd Paulsell, Earnest lack. Edna Black, Lorena lack, Claud Flanagan and Leon app. To these pupils and their arents great credit is due. and :;
 is this sort of effort that con ributes more than all else to the lccess of a school.
