ADMINISTRATION THE Sheridan High School plant was built and equipped at an expense of more than four hundred thousand dollars and is well suited to its purposes. It was first occupied in January, 1926. At the present time there are enrolled eight hundred forty-two pupils, or forty more than at the close of last year. The faculty consists of twenty-seven full time teachers, seven specials, the Principal, and Clerk. It has been the policy of the office to reduce the work as much as possible to routine which may be done by the Clerk and the pupils who take office training, thereby leaving for the Principal as much time as possible for supervision and administration of the many duties which cannot be made a part of routine work. The curriculum, as well as the extra-curricular activities, have been arranged with reference to the seven main objectives of high school education; health, command of fundamental processes, worthy home membership, vocation, citizenship, worthy use of leisure, and ethical character. Naturally, if these seven objectives have been attained, the pupils will be prepared for college. Our school lias been a member of the North Central Association of High Schools and Colleges for many years, and will remain a member so long as the present high standard of work is maintained. Our graduates are therefore admitted without examination into all state universities and most of the private colleges, if they make the proper selection of subjects in the high school while preparing for the particular college or university which they wish to enter. It is the policy of the school to encourage pupil participation in school affairs to the fullest possible extent. In a further effort to assist the pupils in preparing themselves for citizenship, the ideal of self-government is ever kept before them. The roll of the Senior Class contains the names of one hundred twenty-nine pupils. The percentage of the Freshman Class who continue in school till graduation is especially large in Sheridan, being seventy per cent this year. This is the best indication we have that the youth of our community appreciate the advantages of Sheridan High School. J. J. MARSHALL, Principal. Seventeen
