THE GALLEON June - 1931 AS the time comes around again for the publication of this journal, it is but natural that we should make it an occasion for summing up a few of the leading changes that have come about in the twelve- month last passed. So f , each year has meant a marked incr in the personnel and in the physi- cal Qant at Balboa, and, we like to think, a Sxmost wholesome progress in things more 'jstxictly educational, in carrying out our chief Njajectives and aims, in providing place and X pportunity for young people to make bet- T ter, more intelligent citizens of themselves, N 3 is by solving problems, mastering difficulties, MR' CHASE X l and gaining useful knowledge. The most notable forwggd step educationally for Balboa, is the group of 14 graduates who will receive their diplomas at the end of this term. Most of these young people entered Balboa with the high freshman class in the fall of 1928, and have been accelerated. When this journal is published, we shall have been safely established in our splendid new main classroom and auditorium building. To discuss this new unit adequately would take several pages. Suffice to say that it embodies the results of the most searching study and effort to improve on past struc- tures. The Balboa district and San Francisco in general should be most proud. The music room, Little Theatre, stage, and main auditorium offer the very latest and most up to date advantages. The Home Room program this year has been full of opportunities, including in its list of activities, study of state resources, acquaintance with the city, manners, and conduct, talks on various subjects by outsiders, com- munity singing, and the like. Careful study has been given to classroom procedure and instruction, so that, wherever possible, the individual student may be given a unit of work and proceed at his best pace, and be tested as to whether or not he has gained mastery of the unit. Counseling as a definite institution has been added to our curriculum, and is proving to be all that was expected of it. Perhaps no other one feature of school work has as great possibilities for good as has counseling. We shall be happy if every year we may look back on as much real advancement as we do this june.
