Here as elsewhere, the guiding principles of the administra- d d tion are in a large measure, responsible for that record. Ai e and supported by mature and professionally effective teachers, the principal and his assistants are concerned about the welfare ' ' Th h e of all of us at all times-at home, in school, uptown. ey av developed a curriculum, a guidance program, and a body of school activities which are designed to make students grow in mind, body, spirit, and personality. ln addition, pupils develop good citizenship qualities while t' ' atin in the student body organization. Room and school par :cup g officers lead students to make decisions and carry out their own affairs in a democratic man ner and with the advice of teachers. ln a system involving the relationship of thirteen hundred u il teacher personalities in all sorts of work, scholastic, and P P ' social situations, it is remarkable that the school operates with such effectiveness and with so little friction.

-J-nn. 6 . 69 school proiects and community activities. Noth- ing adds more to the daily life of a school than the Band, Chorus, and Orchestral groups. Close- ly connected to music is art. A student upon en- tering the art course is subiect to one of the rich- est and fullest experiences of his high school car- eer. The time spent in the art course is divided between Fine Arts and Crafts from the seventh grade on up to the twelfth. The students not only learn the principles of art, they also learn the basic process involved while working with material things. The emphasis in this course is upon usefulness of art in everyday life. Although everyone is not talented in art, all are consumers and whether or not we know how to make wise choices is important in this day and age. ln short we say Art for everyone every day.
