We purposely make no provision for courf- ship among fhe sfudenfs of our school. I6. Unkind crificism of fhe school, ifs feach- ers or ifs managemenf is much beffer leff undone. The one who offers such crificism does nof have fhe school's inferesf and success af hearf, and if persisfed in will be dealf wifh by fhe faculfy discipline commiffee. I7.

As recommended by fhe Educafional Board of fhe Pacific Union Conference, Loma Linda Union Academy follows fhe policy of requir- ing four years for graduafion, which means fhaf each pupil is expecfed fo spend fhe full four years in high school. Affendance af summer schools or carrying more fhan a nor- mal program during fhe regular school year will nof usually enable a pupil fo be gradu- afed earlier. All such exfra affendance or exfra program should be regarded as an enrichmenf of fhe pupil's educafional oppor- funifies rafher fhan as a means of leaving school earlier. A sysfem of honor poinfs is used fo defer- mine a sfudenf's general average or sfanding. Honor poinfs for each half unif of credif are given as follows: A equals 3, B equals 2, C equals I, D equals O, F equals -I.
