FRIENDSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
Progress.

Friendsvilee High School is show
ing new progress in every way this
year. With the change of schedule
and the arrangement of program of
studies offering choice of academic,
vocational and general courses.
Enrolment
The enrolment is greater than ever
before. Several outlying rural schools
are represented in addition to the
Friendsville Grammar. Among these
are Addison, Pa, Mill Run, Selbys-
port, White Rock, Trap Run, McCabe,
Sand Spring, Asher Glade, Blooming
Rose, Hazelton, W. Va, and Oak Hill
schools. Taken together their schools
give us an enrolment of sixty-two
pupils, or thirty-seven girls and
twenty-five boys. The enrolment is
still on the increase, and will likely
reach seventy, or seventy-five by the
end of the year.
Decreased Cost of Instruction
Each increase in enrolment means
corresponding decrease in the pupil
cost of instruction; and although our
teaching force is larger this year;
each teacher holds a regular high
school teachers certificate; and the
cost per pupil will be lower than in
previous years. 1t follows then, that
if it were possible to furnish trans
portation to one of the rural schools
from which direction the majority of
our rural pupils come to high school,
we would be saving the expense of
running small school. At the same
time giving transportation to a num-
Der of high school pupils who now
furnish their own transportation.
This would also make it possible for
other pupils to come to high school
who do not at the present time at
tend because they have no means of
transportation.
Distance Travelled by Students
The following pupils travel from
three to five miles or more to school
each morning, and return in the even

teachers to take care of so many diff
ferent branches. This school is
greatly in need of another teacher
one who is especially prepared to
handle the department of Englsh.At
present the English work is divided
between three teachers-a situation
which is very unsatisfactory and far
short of approved and efficient meth
DDS.
Vocational Agriculture
The department of vocational agri-
culture, headed by Mr.. W. F. Melon
aid, is we'll cared for. This depart
ment offers a large opportunity for
real vitalized school work and the
boys are realizing this fact. A num-
Der of field trips have been made,
visiting farms where desirable breeds
of live stock may be judged. The
boys in this department also par
ticipated in a judging contest of live
stock at the Grantsville Community
Fair. This was a very desirable fea-
ture on this occasion, both to the
school and to the community. The
BOYS have assisted Mr.. Mcdonald in
making tables particularly fitted for
use in their work. They are now work
ing under more satisfactory condi-
tions and better results are assured.
Vocational Home Economics
Despite the fact that the depart
ment of vocational home economics
is operating under crowded condi-
tions, it is, under the direction OF
Miss Ella Haddaway, accomplishing
gratifying results. Plans are now
being worked out with view of max
ing the work more convenient from
the standpoint of both the teacher
and the students. This department
had its own booth at the Community
Fair and exhibited samples of its work
which won considerablerecognition by
the judges and the general approval
of the public. 1t also made and sold
candy and sandwiches which Melted
the school approximately twenty dol
lars.
Participation Community Fair
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-10-30

This was the first time that Grants
vile school ever entered the Commu
nifty Fair. The members of the Fair
Association showed their interest and
willingness to cooperate with the
school in every possible way, all of
which has been greatly appreciated,
especially by the faculty. There seems
to be no question in the minds of the
patrons of Grantsville school but that
the "day at fair" was one well spent.
School Work Above Athletics
The faculty at the Grantsville High

wholesome school activity; provided
it is regulated by some fixed and
reasonable standards. In this school,
in order that a student may be eligi-
BILE for any athletic team he must not
have failed in any subject. Provision
is made whereby a student who loses
his place on the team because of fall
ure to pass in all subjects may regain
his place after he has redeemed HIM
self in his studies. This system has
recently been inaugurated and has al
ready proved a success. The students
are reminded that their studies are
and should be their primary inter-
ests, and that athletics is by-pro-
duct of the school and consequently
should be secondary to their concern.
Organization Literary Societies
In this school there has been Or
ganized this year two groups known
as the Poe and Lincoln Literary So
cieties. These societies are already
going instruments. 1t is arranged
that each society have private meet
ing every two weeks, and that each
have a public meeting every month,
which are alternated so as to offer a
public literary entertainment to the
people of Grantsville community ev-
cry two weeks.
Halloween Festivities
The Grantsville school is arrang-
ing a halloween social on the even
ing of October 31st, and the public is
cordially invited.

pecially adapted for laboratory work;
and additional chemistry and biology
supplies were needed.
However, the greatest need in the
way of laboratory equipment was
that of physics apparatus. This is
not strange, for physics has never
heretofore been given in this school.
In view of the fact that the senior
class this year is rather small, it was
though wise to establish course in
physics and thus reduce the initial
cost of adding this course to the cur
riculum. In order to minimize the ex-
pense of an equipped laboratory still
further, this scool proposed to the
County Board of Education that if
the latter furnished the lumber and
necessary materials, the boys, acting
under the immediate supervision OF
the instructors, would make the nee
essary furniture, such as lockers, ia
bles, etc. This worked out splendidly
and furthermore it has saved the
Board of Education approximately
two hundred dollars. Fortunately
there were two rooms in the old build
ing which are not being used at pres
ent. These two rooms are planned
to be used for pupils transported from
one and two-teacher elementary
schools near Grantsville when con-
solidation of these schools with the
Grantsville elementary school is I'M
dertaken. One of these rooms for the
present has been transformed and
adapted exclusively for laboratory
use. This room is now equipped with
newly purchased physics apparatus.
By means of this laboratory the stu
dents of this school have far great
er opportunity for experimental work
than they have heretofore had. The
course in physics is conducted under
the immediate supervision of Mr.. F
L. Osborne.
Academic Instructors
The academic work in this school
is handled almost entirely by Mr.. Os-
borne and Mr.. W. w. Keesecker, the
principal. 1t is very difficult for two

EVANSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
Enrolment
In the Grantsville High School this
year there is total enrolment of 60,
which number exceeds by 25 per cent
the enrolment of last year. The re-
port of the first school month showed
an average daily attendance of forty
nine. Grantsville community, as well
known to the people of Garrett coun-
ty, is almost wholly agricultural. and
because of this fact there are without
doubt many boys still engaged in
farm work who will welcome the OPP
portunity to enter school during the
next few weeks. 1t is highly proba-
BILE that the enrolment will approx
mate seventy during the year.
Program of Studies.
The Grantsville High School pro-
gram provides for a general course
including twoyears each educational
agriculture and vocational home eco,
Monies. All students are required tc
complete four years of science. Nc
foreign language is required, and So
cial science is offered and required in
the fourth year only.
Improved Laboratory Equipment
Early in the school year and prior
to the opening of school, it became in.
creasingly evident that instruction il
the science courses would be greatly
impeded due to a lack of laboratory
equipment. There was, in fact, ne
adequate facilities for thorough sci.
entific work; there was no room es.

We have an active parent-teachers'
association that is we'll attended by
its members. Last year through
their cooperation we were able to
purchase a new Encyclopedia for the
school library; and plans are now
under way this year for the installa-
ton of drinking fountains and wash
basins in both the high and elemen-
tary schools.
Athletic and Literary Work
We also have an Athletic Associa-
ton, and at present a boys soccer

ty. We have organized two literary
societies, the Service society and the

to one of the most prosperous years
in the history of Friendsville High
School.
