They aid in schedule making and correct planning for work after high school. They supervise social clubs, not to hamper, but to make them function in accordance with school rules and for the best interests of the membership. They seek to adjust abnormal social problems that arise in school or troubles in the homes of students. They check con- tinuously on the physical fitness of the students, writing passes home and for medical care. Eyes, teeth, throat troubles, and common contagious diseases are usually cared for through the homes. In cases where financial assistance is necessary various business clubs, social organizations, churches, hospitals and individuals always help. Their plans for next year will embody all of the items listed above with special stress on activities leading to the development of a personality, the practice of courtesy, training for leadership and every day practice of the cardinal principles of rugged honesty and stamina of character.
