School Notes

The course of study at Emerson school has been arranged for students who wish to take classical, scientific, commercial or industrial arts work Sixteen units will be required for graduation, as soon as a full four years course is established unit con- sisting of subject pursued for a full year, five days week, with periods of not less than 40 minutes in length. Bookkeeping, typewriting, manual training, domestic art and sci ence classes require double periods, as there is no work of preparation out side of school. Gee club or orchestra taken through four years gives one credit. Music taken under an accred- ited teacher outside of school will be given credit. Pupils will not be al- lowed to take more than four units of work a year, except by permission of the principal and faculty. No cleo tive study will be taught unless five or more pupils demand it. Military training and physical education for girls are required. For military train ing the state law specifics one-half credit for year, but the total credit is not to exceed two units. Pupils will not be allowed to change from one course to another without the consent of the principal.
 The student body assembly, held at Emerson school on Friday morning, was addressed by Superintendent Thomas, who emphasized the attempt which will be made by the faculty and students to eliminate tardiness. A strong effort will be made to have self discipline. A change has been time for class working being cut down to 45 minutes. The plan will call for more home study.
 The Emerson football team is being brought into shape for the game with Winslow here in Flagstaff tomorrow, Coach H. w. Denman doing all in his power to produce winning combina- tion. Several of last years players have not returned to school, and a number of those trying out for this years team are now players.
 Although the team has not been chosen, it is probable that Leslie Me Clure will play full back, as he is showing up fairly we'll in this posi- tion. Melvin Mccormick is one of the most experienced linemen, and will probably play tackle. Ed Black is coming up in good style, and his posi- tion will probably be right end, while Fred Montoya may be stationed at the left end. Clifton Williams, recent arrival at Emerson, may be played as a quarterback. In all of his playing so far he has shown good headwork Fred Nackard is tackling hard, and will very likely make back field po- sition. Victor McClure's weight will be great advantage to him as tackle. Joe Mcclure, another big husky who is doing good work, will be played in the back field or in the line. Clyde Tissaw is showing up the best of all the inexperienced players. He tackles hard, and in another year will be a fine player. Cecil Curry may take a guard position. Earle Thomas may be used in the back field. Among the other students who are turning out are Victor Bartlett, George Marine, Merwin Schwarz and Paul La Rue.
 Miss Myrtle Webber will give sew ing lessons to some of the students at Brannen school on Mondays and Wednesdays.
 Nature study is being stressed this | fall in the advanced first grade.
 Games on the Brannen playground | are being supervised by teachers dur ing recess periods, one of the benefic- ial results of this plan being that stu dents from Spanish speaking homes use English to greater extent when teachers are with them on the grounds.
