Since this is a boarding school, the Board of Trustees has ruled that students must live in the school homes unless they reside in the homes of their parents or legal guardians. Reliable students who are able to furnish to the board satisfactory evidence that they are unable to meet the expenses of living in the school home, may be permitted to make approved arrangements with private families where they will work for their room and board, Students are not allowed to boardthemselves. All students desiring this privilege of living outside the school home will be required to submit to the board a written statement to that effect, specifying the reason for living outside the home, and stating the terms on which they propose to enter a pri- vate home. Arrangements should be made prior to enrollment in the academy. - Leave of Absence Permits. According to a board action, week-end leaves of absence are not granted more frequently than once each four- week period. Each application for such an absence should be accompanied by a letter of approval from the parent or legal guardian. Overnight leaves to stay with friends in the community are not permitted. STUDENT'S PLEDGE lt is distinctly understood that every . student who presents himself for admis- sion to the school thereby pledges to y observe willingly all its regulations and T, i to uphold the Christian principles upon . which the academy is operated. lt'is also understood that to break this pledge forfeits the student's member- ship, and if he is longer retained in the school, it is only by the forbearance t of the faculty. lt is also a part of the student's contract that he will, to the best of his ability, perform all duties assigned to him in connection with the l l t school. i ff- GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Graduation Requirements.

SSINESTGI' . . . . . .... . ......... . . . ln order to secure tuition rebates the student must obtain from the registrar drop vouchers for courses. Such rebates will be effective with the end of the week in which such voucher is actually ob- tained, and are not retroactive. Changes of school program are not permitted after registration except by consent of the faculty as indicated by suitable admittance and drop vouchers. Students receiving full credit for a subject will be expected to pay full tuition, whether entering the course late, or whether absent for any cause during a portion of the course. No refunds will be made-on any fees, except laboratory, and then only within two weeks of the beginning of a semester. Students need some cash for incidental expenses. Parents, or students, may deposit funds in the office, and the student may draw from this fund. No money will be issued to students from the busi- ness ofiice except as previously deposited. At the time of registration, students transferring from other schools should present statements show- ing that accounts with other schools are fully paid. Rebates on home expenses will be made only for absence of two or more consecutive weeks, when caused by serious illness, and one week for absence during Christmas vacation. Students whose accounts are unpaid or un- arranged for at the time of graduation may not participate in any graduating exercise. lf it is necessary to settle on the basis of an estimate, privilege will be granted for delayed settlement of any balance above the estimate. Diplomas and transcripts of credits will not be issued until the accounts with the school are fully paid. Semester grade cards will also be withheld at the option of the school. One complete transcript of credit will be made upon request, free of charge. A fee of 51.00 will be charged for each additional transcript. An extra charge of one cent per month is made for every watt of electric light over 75 watts used in the room. Students whose accounts become delinquent may be asked to discontinue school until their ac- counts are arranged for satisfactorily. The school allows the following tuition discounts for families with several children in school. Two from one family 52, 3 or more children 102. A cash discount of five per cent is allowed to students who pay their tuition in advance for the year, provided payment is made before the end of the first two weeks in the first semester. Books and Supplies. The school maintains a supply store at which work books, and school supplies may be purchased. Students are ex- pected to pay cash for such purchases, unless a deposit has been made for the purpose of charg- ing these items. Accordingly, each student should bring with him sufficient funds for these needs in addition to that brought for the registration fee and the entrance deposit. Labor for Students. The training of the hand is very important in these times. Boarding students are required to work some each day, and will be paid for all work performed. A minimum of ten hours per week may be required. An industrious student may earn a considerable portion of his way. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION BIBLE Old Testament History.
