All things considered the year has

have worked tremendously Disci-
pIine has been good and remarkably
even throughout the system. No SER
i0us cases of discipline have arisen
PUPILS have worked hard and large
number Of them have reached the
Honor Roll by their efforts.
The Junior High School plan Of or
ganization as we have it now is show
Ing more strongly than ever its value
in holding prldis for farther study
and I'm preparing them more efficient
ly for taking such study Practically
all who were in the Meridian eighth
the ninth grade and made an excel
lent showing. The work did not be-
wilder them and they found it no
more difficult TO master than they
found the eighth grade work This
! was never the case when we worked
under the eight-four plan.

I cared 10 return were reelected. Not
\ quite all accepted. For Dist. No 33

Because of the crowded condition
the High School board has decides
: TO build another one-room building
to be ready for occupancy at the be
! ginning OF the next school year 1t
hoped that this will provide suffi
cient room to take care of all pupil
until such a time as the district feel
willing 10 build high school build
ing. We all realize that one-rooI
: buildings for high school purpose
are only makeshift and the pIa
, ought not to be followed longer thal
is necessary

duct it. Athletics viii receive due a
tention.
