ig g ? A dm i ni st ratio n Various things in the high school curriculum have been changed and new improve- ments instituted during the past year. One of the most important was the change in class schedule which provided for longer class periods, more time at noon, and a longer roll period in the first part of the morning immediately after the tardy bell. By means of this new system the former 11:44 period was abolished. Sch«x»l starts at 8:45 in the morning and closes at 11 :55, reopens at 1 :15 and closes in the afternoon at 5.43. Where formerly there was a noon period of an hour and a quarter, now there is a noun period of one hour and twenty minutes. Billings public schools took an active part in National Education Week by broad- casting programs concerning the work in the schools over Radio Station KGHL. One hundred and seventy-seven students took part in the broadcasting. Included in the group were many high school students. The music department has put on a program of broadcasting over station KGHL once every month. One of these programs was dedicated to the memory of the great composer, Franz Schubert. Two of the newer courses instituted in the curriculum of the school are farm machinery and agronomy. The school has made arrangements for service with the implement dealers of the city in order to give the class practical material to work on. Plows, tractors, combines, etc., are brought to the school for the members to study. The administration formulated new standards for grading in the early spring of 1929. These are as follows: A- 95-100): 97; B-(87-94): 90; G-(78-86) : 84; I)—(70-77) : 74; X—(below 70): failure. A new society was fostered as a part of the extra-curricular activities of the high school in the early spring of the past Near. It is known as the Honor Society of Billings high school. The constitution of the club was written in a form that would allow the club to become affiliated with the National Honorary Society if the members should so desire. The faculty composes the membership committee. Students who desire membership are judged on scholarship, leadership, service, and character. However, members are required to be in the upper third of their respective classes in regard to scholarship. Junior A’s, senior B s, and senior A’s are eligible for membership. Two new clubs started activities in the extra-curricular line this past year. They are the Radio club, whose members study and build radios, and the Airplane club, whose members build model airplanes. Some of the members of the latter club entered a national contest for model airplanes held at Detroit, Michigan. I2M
