12 SENIOR SCOPE SCHOOL HISTORY The combined schools of the Arts High and the Market Street High had their beginning with the reopening of the Market Street building in September, 1928. The original enrollment was 175 students which has now grown to 1,050 students. Though progress has not been spectacular, it has been steady. During the first and second years, work was given in the commercial curriculum, but by this time the number of students had outgrown the size of the building and it was decided that the Art School building be used. Though the two schools are listed as separate schools, we have always considered them as one. In 1931 the purpose of the school was enlarged by the introduction of the Fine Arts Course, which immediately in- creased in importance, and became the major pursuit of theschool. The city, county, state, and national prizes won in large numbers, some of very substantial value, are all indicative of nation-wide recognition. It is not too much to say that the basic principles on which the school is founded are now recognized in all parts of the country, and frequent visitors attest wide-spread interest in the work done here. Almost from the beginning, the schools have taken a lead in progressive measures of education. Market Street High was the first school in Newark to give a complete course in General Science instead of the age-worn course in civics. This course was outlined by Mr. Faber of the Arts High faculty and later accepted by the city without much alteration. Market was also the first Senior High School that gave a first year course in Elementary Business Training. Mr. Schiee contributed largely to the outline of this course. We were alsothe first high school to organize a Junior Red Cross. Market Street and the Arts High were the first schools to adapt a uniform set of objective tests. The Arts High was the first school in Newark to regard Fine Art as a major pursuit in education, with courses outlined by Miss Stewart, with the co-operation of Mr. Webb. There are five teachers in the Arts High following this outline. The Arts High School was the first to offer a four year course in major music. We now have three major music teachers. We were also the first school in the city to offer a two year course in major dramatics. The number of students taking this course is rapidly increasing. We were the first high school to organize physical training classesfor girls based on rhythmics. Last but not least, Market Street High was the first high school to introduce a complete student government system, and the Arts High was the first high school to organize a Safety Patrol. In all our courses the watchword is, and will remain Progress, and we are realizing it by new methods of presentation. The first semi-annual commencement of the Arts High School was held on January 24, 1934. The graduates, four in number, had the honor of being the initial graduating class. Before concluding, it is fitting that we pay a tribute of respect to Mr. Ensign and the Art School faculty for their sin- cere interest and courtesy. ‘t has been a pleasure to be associated with them, and we hope that these friendly relations may continue.

John Burbella was the first senior of the school to get a swimming letter? Russel Hinkel writes good poetry? Joseph Barry always wears a red sweater? Charles Walker is popular with the opposite sex? Grace Thompson charms them with her voice? It is hard to get co-operation in this school? SENIOR CLASS DAY Today is Senior Class Day in the Arts High School. This is the reason for all the senior boys wearing green bows in place of neck ties, and for the girls’ green hair ribbons. After school, all seniors will congregate in Room 107 for a farewell to childhood. All kinds of childish games will be played and balloons and lollypops will help to furnish fun and excitement. The school orchestra will provide the music for dancing. span Rap RES SS EO EN A A Ce pee a sl
