Lawrence High School Faculty 0© Our faculty is indeed one of which we can be justly proud. Its members are representative graduates of well-known colleges from all over the United States. As our school building is outstanding among school buildings, so our faculty is outstanding among faculties. The addition to the school curriculum of various new courses made necessary the enlargement of our teaching staff, and our new pedagogues quickly associated themselves with school activities, some of them being chosen faculty advisers of various clubs, others becoming active in the supervision of Lawrence High School athletics.

The Guidance Department The Guidance Department, under the direction of Mr. Lyman W. Davison, prepares a schedule for every one of the twelve hundred and fifty students enrolled in Lawrence High School. This is done after a consideration of a student’s abilities (as shown by his scholastic record of the previous term) and his desires. Moreover, those in charge of this branch of our school administration keep tabs” on all students, particularly those who have shown continually poor work and little or no effort. They make it their duty to consult with such students (in some cases suggesting that the subject or subjects be dropped) as well as to advise and assist those who fail in spite of all attempts to do good work. On the other hand, in cases in which a student is doing good work in all his subjects, and seems capable of carrying another, the Guidance Department suggests the adding of an extra subject. To prospective graduates, this department offers advice and information as to the requirements, specialties, and merits of various colleges. In the Guidance Room, readily available to all students, are displayed the catalogues of many of the colleges in the United States. Those graduates who propose to enter a college are invited to come to the Guidance Department for friendly, but serious, discussion as to the best courses to follow in order to attain success in a particular career. The department aims to promote a thorough understanding and friendship among the faculty, the parents, and the students, because such conditions tend to promote more efficient work on the part of both teachers and students, thus fulfilling the basic aims of our educational system.
