This section is therefore added to supplement the pictorial. ' On Thursday evening of each week the stu- dents gather for an hour of hymn singing, dis- cussion, and prayer. Voluntary evening devotions are held by the boys and girls in their respective dormitories. Extension programs in communities outside of school afford opportunity for witnessing in word and song. This extension work is done by the mission crusaders which also meet regularly to study missions and to listen to visiting mis- sionaries. Academy students conduct their own Luth- er League. Meetings are held Sunday evenings at the Canton Lutheran Church. Canton Lutheran church, is the church home of Academy students and faculty. In its Sunday School are classes for all. The L. D. R. meets once a month and is open to all girls of the school. Chapel exercises are conducted every morn- ing. Members of the faculty and outside speakers have charge except one day of the week when one of the .classes takes charge of the hour. Christian student organizations also give monthly chapel programs. . --I 4 In 1942, the A Cappella choir rrfdde its fourth consecutive spring tour, visiting western Min- nesota and singing concerts in each of the Twin Cities before returning to school. In 1941, Chi- cago, Illinois, was included D in the concert itinerary. Due to the presenf-war em gency, the tours were omitted in 1943 and 195: This spring, the choir again undertook a tour, travel- ing through parts of eastern South Dakota. When student interest is sufficient, a small band furnishes instrumental music for the bas- ketball games during the year. Four years ago, the athletic activities were placed upon a strictly intra-mural basis and letters are awarded upon a point basis. The program includes football, basketball, kitten- ball, volley ball, hiking, skating, swimming, horseshoe, and ping pong. Members of the Augustana Academy chapter of the National Forensic League are active on the campus, and have participated in inter- scholastic debate both at home and in tourna- ments out of town. The Athenian literary society, composed of seniors and sophomores, and the Ciceronian literary society, made up of juniors and fresh- men, were organized during the past school year. They present alternate bi-weekly as- sembly programs. ARTICLES TO BEING , Every student should bring a Bible, a new Concordia Hymnal, a dictionary and any other books that may be of service in schoolwork. The school furnishes beds, matresses, chairs, dressers and tables. Students rooming in the dormitory should bring a pillow, pillow cases, sheets, blankets or quilts, towels, rugs, table runners, dresser scarfs, pictures, window curtains, a drinking glass, napkins and a napkin ring. Stu- dents are also expected to have their own scrub- bing pails, dust mops, dust cloths, clothes pins, and if they are going to do their own ironing they should supply their own irons and pressing cloths.

The specific rules and regula- tions may be found in our Handbook which may be obtained by asking us to send one. Because our Lord has also commanded us to abstain from all appearance of evil We have found it necessary to enforce the following: The school will not permit the use of tobacco in any form by the students while they are en- rolled at the Academy. Students will not be permitted to attend movies, frequent dances, taverns, pool halls and bowling alleys, or play cards while at the Academy. Since the American custom of going to town on Saturday evenings is responsible for many unfortunate things in American life, we do not encourage students to follow this custom. We strongly disapprove of the practice of loiter- ing in cafes and other public places, especially in the evenings. grace and knowledge, and who is willing to- observe all the rules and regulations of our Christian Academy, ,will be gladly accepted. OE CONDUCT Students are not permitted to go up town on Sunday evenings. We believe these regulations are in harmony with the spirit of one father's remark when he said: We do not send our children to the Acad- emy to have them turned loose on the streets of Canton. Students will not be permitted to keep auto- mobiles while in attendance at the Academy or go car riding without an approved chaperone. Experience has taught us that individual fel- lowship between boys and girls of high school age is almost always harmful to the individuals involved as well as to the rest of the students, unless it is carefully regulated. Since students often object strenuously to any type of control in this department of school life, we strongly recommend that students cultivate general .in- stead of individual fellowship with the opposite sex. This does make for a finer development of social life in any boarding school of high school grade. We trust that the deans will receive full cooperation in this matter, in order that We may continue to grant the privilege of an oc- casional date. GENERAL REGULATIONS g g Since good health is essential, if one is to get the most out of school work, all new students are required to have a physical examination shortly before entering and to present a certifi- cate indicating physical fitness. The physician should indicate whether or not the student is physically fit to participate in athletics. Students are expected to furnish their own text books. These are secured at the Academy Bookstore, and their cost varies according to the subjects studied, usually between 35.00 and 310.00 for the year. Many books may be pur- chased second-hand, if desired. Non-resident students will be expected to room in the dormitories unless other arrange- ments are made with the administration. Stu- dents who room in the dormitories are required also to board at the Academy. ' ' No discount will be allowed for temporary absence unless in case of sickness or other valid reason the student is absent from school two weeks or more. Students responsible for breakages are ex- pected to report same and make arrangements for replacement. ' Satisfactory sett1ement,of accounts must be. made before receiving honorable dismissal, cer- tificate of credit or diploma. A student's sem- ester accounts must be paid in full before. a report of semester credits will be issued. Only those students may graduate who are recom- mended by the faculty on the basis offdfhracter.

It may become necessary to increase this price slightly for the second semester in case food prices advance greatly. It is under- stood that all food rationing books be turned over to the school during the time students get their food furnished by the school. If a family has more than one child in attendance at the same time, the tuition is reduced to 525.00 for each child. -1 Since commodities must be paid for in advance, it is necessary to ask the students to pay in advance. Those who are not able to pay for the entire semester on registration day will be asked to pay for a month or six weeks, and the balance will be payable in installments during the semester. All students will be asked to pay the activities, publications, library and hospital fees. Other- wise, only those who are making use of a particular service will be asked to pay the fee. For example, only those studying biology will be asked to pay the fee of two dollars, etc. i
