To ALL WHO EXPECT
To ENTER THE HIGH
SCHOOL THIS FALL

The following notice to prospective
members OF the freshman class for
1922-1923 of the Phoenix Union high
school and their parents has been
issued by Principal d. F. Jantzen:
It has been our practice for the
last two years to have high school
students register for the new year OF
school at the close of each school
year. This gives the administration
all summer to prepare the students
class admittance card and to have
everything ready for work on the
first day of school. We are thus
asking that every eighth grade grad
uate register before the summer va
cation and in that way help himself
and the high school to get the best
start in the fall.
You should get copy of the high
school course of study and go over
it carefully and map out your entire
high school course. Do not be afraid
to come to the high school to ask
questions but attempt TO get all the
information you can before complet-
ing your registration. Cards on which
to register will be provided by your
teachers. Carefully read the notes
on the cards and fill in each space
The spaces for checking the number
of credits need not concern you now,
but underneath you should state def
initely the four subjects you will
want for the next year. Freshmen
should not ask for fifth subject
because the work is new and you
should prove to us for the first year
that you are capable of carrying
more work than the average student
Note that if you are to be excused
from any study hall period, or mill
tary or physical training, you must
get special blank from the registrar
and attach it to the registration card
To get away from tradition and tc
keep abreast with progress. a change
will be made in the history courses
for next year. Instead of a straight
ancient history course for freshmen
we shall offer world history course
which will be best adapted to the
second year of high school work. ano
will be elective. This will include 8
twelve weeks study of ancient his
tory and will lead through European
history more Immediately up tC
Anne rican history. Freshmen may
elect this course. For freshmen who
will to specialize in history. a first
year course in ancient history vii
also be offered as an elective. Sucl
students should follow up the ancient
history with medieval and modern
history in their sophomore year and
American history in their junior year
This last course is required for grad
uation.
The girls league of the Phoenix
Union high school has adopted with
the approval of the faculty and the
board of education, the following
uniform: Regular uniform: A white
MILDLY with blue collar and cuffs and
