remains in the organization until he
graduates. Then credit will be given
as outlined.
Students are asked to take part
in all the extra -curricular activi-
ties (outSide of regular studies)
that they can do so profitably. On
the other hand no student will be
permitted to take part in any ac-
tivity who is not passing in at least
three subjects.
Fifth Year Students
No student who is in his fifth year
at High School, due to failures in
the past or for any cause other than
illness, will be permitted to partici-
pate in any extra-curricular activi-
ties except as a spectator. He will
affiliate with no class and serve on
no committees, take no part in ath-
letics, dramatics, debate, public
speaking, parties, picnics, etc. He
may participate in band and or
chestra but is not eligible for con-
tests or festival work. He cannot
go ON trips with thesband. If it re-
quires five years for a student to
graduate then in that fifth year
the student should concentrate on
studying and not on extra curricular
activities.
No credit will be given in any nom
academic subject unless taken for
at least two successive years How
ever, it must be borne in mind that
only two non-academic credits of
the 80 required for graduation will
be accepted. But student might
graduate with more than 80 credits.
He might have 80 academic credits
and IL non academic. or total of
40 credits. Very few students achieve
that honor, however Many have 35
or SO credits upon graduation, but
very few have more than that.
No student may drop a course,
academic or non-academic, after
the second week of school, To do SO
will be recorded as failure on the
permanent record.
Doctors Permit
No student will be permitted to
turn out for athletic activities of
any kind without doctors examin-
ation and a permit from the doctor
for the child to participate. This
form may be obtained from the
coaches of Grade or High School
athletics This does not mean nor
include games played during regu-
lar physical education classes.
No student will be permitted to
take manual training without writ
ten consent from home Con special
forms which may be obtained from
the teacher). White overalls, sleeve
less jackets, or a white sweat shirt
should be worn as a measure of
safety in shop work. White clothing
can easily be seen in work shop
No student should enroll for manual
training if he is not serious. The
shop is no place for loafers and is
dangerous place for students who
do not pay attention to business.
Extra curricular activities in Ju-
neau High School are listed below.
These change from year to year.

at the request of the students. When

tinued. Hence, some activities last
