Principal Dwight W. McCoy Mr. McCoy, though acting superintendent of the city schools, second semester, took time out to write for the Capitoline the following words about the S. H. S. Curricula: The diversity of tastes, ambitions, and en- vironment is the force creating the necessity for organization of the Secondary School Curricula. ' Unquestionably, the motive behind the ad- justment is for the purpose of offering ade- quate preparation for seeking after and ob- taining MLife, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for every member of our demo- cratic society. If the demanded standards of the chosen curriculum are conformed to, there is a type immeasurably serviceable in meeting any life situation, and consistently proportionate for bringing about the effective functioning of a progressive, social existence. The majority of students find a college or a university education indispensable in seek- ing a life-preparedness. Other groups find opportunities which suf- ficiently meet the requirements of their ob- jectives. - A Eleven With materials of subject matter so readily available there need be.no lack of prepara- tion toward the enjoyment of any worthwhile life experience. All materials contribute generously their portion toward the realization of health, domestic relationships, leisure time pleasure, vocational activities, development of ideals, acquisition of correct habits and skills, or remunerative and profitable employment. So whether the demands are professional, commercial, cultural, industrial, or social there is an offering of academics, business subjects, art, music, manual arts, physical education, home economics, or even a gen- eral course which when acquired can easily be supplemented by special study leading the way to success in any chosen life-ad- venture. D. W. MCCOY.

Don't close the hook, but read on to see how they help make your school the school you want it to be. In this corner we present the assistant prin- cipal, Mr. L. K. Davis, usmilin' Lyman , col- loquially speaking. He is the Big Bad Bogie Man in charge of discipline. NAt once ...... . Davis is his favorite message to skipping stu- dents, who shake in their shoes as they read the ominous words. If your eye strays down, it will rest on gentle Miss Dorothy Bundy, dean of girls, and on Wise-looking Mr. Roy Wentz, dean of hoys. These two have parallel duties. Advisors of Senior Girls' and Boys' Councils, respectively, they straighten out programs and other tangles. Besides this, Miss Bundy teaches a class in Eng- lish, Mr. Wentz one in business arithmetic. How do these three find time for all their many duties? That, dear reader, is one of the unsolved m steries of the a es. Y g ROY WENTZ Dean of Boys
