 No credit will be given for less than two years of foreign lan- guage. But full credit will be given where a student has two years of one foreign language and one year of another, or a total of six credits Ca major) in foreign languages.
 Students expecting to go on to college should take all the mathe- matics and science they can get, as well as one foreign language (for two years.) Generally speaking, this, with English, will prepare them for college entrance in most any college or university. Boys expecting to goI into engineering of any kind should, besides taking the above subjects, take two years of manual training mathematics (advanced algebra and solid geometry, as well as trignometry and college algebra) Is most helpful for all students in- tending to go on to college.
 Juneau schools are most fortu- nate in the amount of music offered to students. We strongly urge stu dents to turn out for orchestra or band or glee club and stay with it. A musical organization makes a school an interesting place to be-" said Supt Phillips.
 Students are asked to take part 1 n all the extra-curricular activities (outside of regular studies) that ,hey can do so profitably. On the other hand no student will be per- nitted to take part in any activity, who is not passing in at least three subjects.
 "No credit will be given in any lon academic subject unless taken Or at least two successive years. However, it must be borne in mind hat only two non-academic credits ,f the ;t required for graduation will be accepted. But a student night graduate with more than 32 redits. He might have 30 academic redits sand 12 non-academic, or a otal of 42 credits. Very few stu lents achieve that honor, however. dany have 35 or 36 credits upon raduation, but very few have more han this.
 "It might be we'll to advise that 10 students may drop course, aca- emic or non-academic, after the econd week of school.
