is being anticipated.
To get the full benefit of any
prescribed course it is necessary
that, when the student reaches the
Senior High School, he select a
certain course and then adhere to
it. The greatest benefit is derived
by the student, in absorbing the
consistent offering of a course in
which each years progress is de-
finitely related. 1t becomes vitality
a matter of careful choice involv-
ing parental interest and advice n
selection.
The policy of channeling will be
in effect this year although when
the case justifies other considera-
ton it will be granted only on GER
tain specifications. There is moth
ing so fruitless as the smattering
gathered from weak and lily di-
rected choice of subjects. So I
make an appeal to the parents to
get information concerning the
courses we offer. This information
is freely and gladly given. The
courses offered this year will be
mimeographed and will be ready
for distribution a few days before
school opens. H..
Music
In the Senior High School this
year, we are offering students an
opportunity to earn music credit.
There will be a course for Sophie
mores and one for Seniors. Plans
are being laid for the introduction
of music in the Junior year next
school year.
Honor Point System
It is needless to say that too
much emphasis has been laid on
athletics in scnool. This being nat
ural due to the nature of the con-
test idea of credit psychology. This
overrating of this one activity has
a undertaking effect on other extra
curricular activities such as band,
debate, defamation etc.
We are making it possible for
those who wish to qualify for par
ticipation in the other activities
than athletics to earn letter. Each
activity carries with so much value
in honor points creditable work in
the various activities chosen by the
student is the only basis for grad
ing honor points. He is given a
special letter when he has earned
$50 Honor Points.

honor points:
