Pupils will be classified according
to the following method. Sophomore
from three to seven credits, Junior
from seven to eleven credits, and Sem
Tor from eleven to sixteen credits.
Sixteen credits are required for
graduation-four of English, three OF
social studies, and two of science.
Of the sixteen credits required for
graduation, not more than five such
credits should be taken from any COM
bination of credits in agriculture, gen.
eral industrial training, home econ
omics, commercial training and music.
1t is advisable that not more than
three of the five such credits be
earned in any one of the above fields,
with the exception of music, where
only one credit may be used as part
of the sixteen credits required for
graduation.
A pupil is strongly urged to COM
plete two credits in both mathematics
and either Latin or French. Many
colleges and universities require these
credits for entrance.
Students should elect their course
to meet the specific requirements of
the college or university in which they
plan to enroll.
If two years of consecutive work
are offered in subject, students
should take the second year of work
also.
Public speaking is taught in con-
nection with English and is required
of all pupils.
Physical education is required OF
all students. Although no credit is
allowed toward graduation, students
are expected to do creditable work.
Students are advised to-plan to take
only four subjects. Application must
be made in writing by the parent in
case a student desires heavier pro-
gram. These applications will be
considered in the light of the ability
of the student and the strength OF
work in the past. We expect all
students to take four subjects.
We advise students to take part in
extra curricular activities. On the
other hand we believe that it is ad-
visable for a student to limit his par
ticipation in this work in accordance
with his program.
So far as possible, student should
elect the subject in the year in which
it is regularly offered.
Glee club offers quarter credit for
two periods per week.
The requirements for graduation are
retroactive, subject to the approval OF
the superintendent.
