From it come all orders and permits concerning school life. It is, in short, the very heart of the school. Through the vocational guidance and life advisement program sponsored by the oliice, the student is helped to choose a career wisely and intelligently. When the student is preparing to enter high school, he is interviewed and an at- tempt is made to put him in that course Principal Shong which will best prepare him for what he plans to do. Then in high school he is as- signed to a faculty adviser who guides him in his four years at school. In the Sopho- more year, his four-year program is planned with the aim in View of giving him the greatest benefits from his course. In the junior and Senior years, he hears outside speakers who explain the advantages of various occupations. Vocational guidance is a movement to- ward an ideal of no misfits in society, with everyone properly educated for and em- ployed in that work which he truly enjoys.

The eight semesters of English work and two semesters of public speaking cover a wide range of ma- terial. Grammar and sentence structure are fundamental. Useful and necessary drill is carried on from semester to semes- ter. The course in both literature and com- position followed is outlined by the super- intendentis office, but each teacher has an opportunity to vary the lessons. Themes and oral reports help the stu- dent to use his own language correctly. Some teachers carry on contract work, in which a student must complete a given job in an allotted time. He may do extra work for a higher grade, if he wishes. Other classes have club meetings or open forum discussions in order to learn parliamentary law and current events. As a part of their English work, students produce interesting booklets on subjects such as mythology, modern poetry, and essays. In some junior classes the pupils plan and write magazines. Many of these excellent books are later ex- hibited in the school library. Marguerite Svanoe Florence Whitaker l Opal Stevenson
