The School is situated in the most healthful region east of the Mississippi River, in a climate giving the largest oppor- tunity for year-round outdoor life. O — • The extensive campus, in the midst of a wooded tract many miles in extent, comprises athletic fields, ponds, streams, forests, and hills. The site was chosen not only for its suit- ability, but also for the impressive beauty of its surroundings. 3- The buildings were constructed especially for school pur- poses and are thoroughly sanitary. They are of brick and stone, with fireproof stairways. The main buildings are equipped with automatic sprinklers. 4- The masters are college graduates, chosen for their fitness to instruct and care for boys. 5- The School is small enough to insure intimate fellowship between faculty and boys, yet large enough to give scope to a variety of interests outside of the academic work. 6. The School is known for the great personal care given the boys. The courses of study, though broad, are consistent, and give the best preparation to boys who desire to enter any college or technical school or to go into business. Special emphasis is given instruction in natural science, musical appreciation, and appreciation of art. 8. The religious influence of the School is non-sectarian, but is strongly Christian, the aim being to make attractive to boys, by both precept and example, the life and teachings of Christ. A graduated course in Bible study and social ethics, non-academic and strongly related to the needs of modern living, is given in each of the six Forms. THE SCHOOL FROM JACKSON FIELD ASHEVILLE SCHOOL Asheville School was founded in 1900 by Historical Sketch jqewton Mitchell Anderson and Charles Andrews Mitchell, who had been founders and co-principals of the University School of Cleveland, Ohio. Their aim was to establish, in the most favorable location they could find, a school that should com- bine the vigorous educational standards of the North with the mountain climate and social atmosphere of the South. The building formerly known as “The House” (now Anderson Hall) was the first to be erected. It was followed in 1903 by “The School” (now Mitchell Hall), and in 1907 by the Senior House (Percy Lawrence Hall). The School prospered from the first, and soon reached an enroll- ment which taxed the capacity of the dormitories. Upon the death of Mr. Mitchell, in 1921, the sole ownership was acquired by Mr. Anderson. In 1924 he assumed the title of Director, and turned over the active management to George Jackson, B.S., as Headmaster. Mr. Jackson had been with the School from the first, and was, by both temperament and training, fitted for his task. Mr. Jackson’s death, in July 1926, brought to a sudden halt the immediate hopes of the Trustees. The Reverend W. H. Jones, the School Chaplain, was named Acting Headmaster, and search was begun for a man who should undertake the administration of Asheville School in consonance with the hopes of its Founders, Trustees, and Alumni. In February 1927, Howard Bement was elected Headmaster. Dr. Bement, who was for twenty-two years a member of the English Depart- ment of The Hill School, and for fifteen years its Head, assumed his duties July 1, 1927. The new administration carried on without a break the traditions of the old Asheville, and incorporated therewith the best that modern progressive education has to offer. The enrollment increased to one hundred and seventy, a number that is now being resolutely adhered to as a maximum. On July 1, 1930, an important step forward was taken. The school property was purchased by a group of incorporators representing the Alumni; and a new Board of Trustees, a majority of whom are gradu- [15] ates of Asheville, was put in control. The Board, made up of twenty-one members, is self-perpetuating, and under the new charter is conducting the School as a non-profit corporation. To select a location best fulfilling the conditions desired, country east of the Mississippi River and were convinced that the mountain region of western North Carolina, known as “The Land of the Sky,” surpassed all others. They chose, therefore, a site near Asheville, on the shores of Lake Ashnoca. This region is noted for its climate. Since it has an alti- l M te tucje twenty-three hundred feet above sea-level, its atmosphere is clear and dry, and there are recorded here more sunny days than in any other locality in the eastern part of the United States. The autumn weather is delightful and continues well into the winter, which, though short, is cold and bracing. In winter the air is so dry and the sunshine so constant as to make outdoor life pleasant at all times. From the first of March to the first of July the weather is mild and invigorating, and during this period there are few hot, sultry days. Even in midsummer the nights are cool. ■Li u v n x ± kj xv the founders studied carefully the Accessibility Asheville is situated half-way between Lake Erie and the Gulf of Mexico, and is reached by the through trains of the Southern Railway from New York via Philadel- phia, Baltimore, and Washington; from Cincinnati; from Atlanta; from New Orleans; and from Jacksonville. It is, therefore, easy of access from all parts of the country; and Pullmans, direct to Asheville, make traveling for even the smaller boys safe and convenient. Site The site chosen, containing one hundred and twenty acres,is five miles west of Asheville, with which it is connected by a concrete motor road and the Southern Railway. Ragsdale Creek flows through the grounds for more than a mile. A dam of reinforced concrete, built across this stream, makes a lake nearly a mile in length, used for swim- ming and boating and all kinds of aquatic sports. The buildings and playgrounds are situated one hundred and fifty feet above the level [16] of the lake. Much of the land is sufficiently level to make fine fields for baseball, football, soccer football, tennis, golf, and other sports; and a large tract is densely wooded. Within two miles, north and south, mountains rise to a height of four thousand feet. On the east is the range of the Black Mountains culminating in Mt. Mitchell, six thou- sand seven hundred feet in altitude, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. On the west are the Balsam Mountains and ranges of the Blue Ridge, with Mt. Pisgah, five thousand seven hundred feet in altitude. The views in all directions are very beautiful. 117] THE BUILDINGS The School The School, built of brick and cement, has been named Mitchell Hall, in memory of the late Charles Andrews Mitchell, co-founder. It incorporates the best features of the most approved modern school buildings, and contains the recitation rooms, library, laboratories, study, and auditorium, all heated by steam and lighted by electricity. The Senior House is a dormitory for the use The Senior House c , , r, t. or the boys or the two upper borms. lhis building is similar to Anderson Hall in general appearance and construc- tion and is fitted with all modern conveniences for the comfort of the pupils. It has been named Percy Lawrence Hall, in memory of Millard Percy Lawrence, a member of the Class of 1906. Anderson Hall, named in honor of Newton he ower ouse Anderson, one of the founders, is the dormitory for boys of the lower Forms. It is of pleasing architec- ture, substantially built of brick and cement. It is heated by steam, lighted by electricity, and equipped with an excellent system of ventila- tion and with ample lavatories and bathrooms provided with modern plumbing. The Library, called the Hillyer Holden Library, was 1 b r a r founc}e(;[ by the gift of Mr. R. A. Holden, of Cincinnati, Ohio, in memory of his son, Hillyer Holden. It contains well-selected works of reference and general literature, and also the best periodicals. In 1931 the Library was entirely remodeled and refurnished. The William Spencer Boyd Memorial Chapel, built TP H E C H A P E L in the summer of 1927 in memory of a member of the Class of 1915, is the generous gift of his mother, Mrs. Mary S. Boyd, of Indianapolis, Indiana. It is built of native granite in Tudor Gothic style, finished in oak, and seats about 400 persons. The organ is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Burnham Standish Colburn, of Biltmore Forest, in memory of their son, William Cullen Colburn, of the Class of 1918. [18] m� ANDERSON HALL MITCHELL AND LAWRENCE HALLS The Gymnasium, a very substantial brick build- TheGyMNASIUM • • r i „ , , mg, contains five squash courts, three basket- ball courts which may be used also for indoor baseball, a trophy room, an apparatus room with rowing machines and other usual apparatus, the director’s office, an athletic store, locker rooms, shower baths, and a swimming pool twenty by seventy feet. It is the gift of generous friends of the School, Mrs. George Tod Perkins and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beebe Raymond, grandmother and parents, respectively, of George Perkins Raymond of the Class of 1914. The tablet bears this inscription: the george perkins Raymond gymnasium erected as A HELP TOWARDS PERFECT MANHOOD. The Warner Arms Infirmary is situated on the ground Infirmary oor Qf Anderson Hall. It is named in memory of Warner Arms of Youngstown, Ohio, Class of 1931; funds left by this Alumnus and devoted to the purpose by his parents have recently been employed for the redecoration and refurnishing of all Infirmary rooms, so that they now provide restful and cheerful surroundings for sick boys and convalescents. The portion of the building reserved for this purpose is large enough to accommodate fifteen patients and is completely shut off from the Dormitory halls. Included in the Infirmary are a diet kitchen, a sitting room, and a sun-porch where boys recovering from illness can sit outdoors in pleasant weather. Two large rooms with a separate diet kitchen adjoining can be isolated for the care of patients having com- municable illnesses. The Dining Hall and the Boiler-house are Other Bdildings , detached buildings. 1 his arrangement secures immunity from danger of fire, since there is no fire in the main buildings. Asheville is noted for the purity of its water, which comes from a city-owned watershed of about seventeen thousand acres of uninhabited and unbroken forest. The water used at the School comes from the Asheville waterworks. Water Drainage The system of drainage is perfect. All sewage is carried in drains more than a mile from the buildings and emptied into a swift flowing stream. [ 21 ] SCHOOL LIFE AND ADMINISTRATION T EACHERS The Masters have been selected with reference to their recognized ability. They are graduates of the best American and foreign colleges and universities, and most of them have specialized in the particular fields which they have elected to teach. Care of Boys The Headmaster has the especial care and charge of all the boys. He and the Masters desire to know every boy intimately, so that natural aptitudes may be discovered and encouraged, and defects of character remedied. Boys known to be vicious, objectionable, dull, or persistently lazy will not be admitted; if unwittingly admitted, they will not be retained. Medical Care A Resident Nurse is in charge of the Infirmary and an Asheville physician makes daily visits to the School for consultations; his services are supplemented by those of specialists when required, and private nurses from the local hospitals are always available. A Dispensary which is open at all times provides for the care of minor injuries and sicknesses. Physical Examination The School physicians make examina- tions each year, that they may find any physical weaknesses and prescribe proper exercises to remedy them. Physical Training Physical training is one of the unique fea- tures of the School, opportunities for health- ful exercise being unsurpassed. The climate of the mountain region of North Carolina invites open-air exercise twelve months in the year. Inclement days which drive boys from their exercise on the playing fields are few. Each boy is required to exercise out-of-doors when possible; otherwise in the gymnasium. The Masters supervise and control the athletic exercise and games of the boys and coach them in their sports. For the various forms of exercise the School grounds contain three baseball diamonds, football fields, soccer football fields, a quarter-mile cinder track with a two-hundred-twenty-yard straightaway, ten tennis [22] courts, and a rowing course for the crews, three-fourths of a mile in length. At the lake there is a canoe house with twelve canoes, and for boys interested in rowing, one boat house with two four-oared gigs, two four-oared shells, two eight-oared shells, one single shell and a motor launch for the coach. The Athletic grounds have been named Jackson Field, in memory of George Jackson, the late Headmaster. Adjacent to the school grounds is the excellent nine-hole golf course of the Malvern Hills Club. Playing privileges of the club are extended to the boys free of charge. It is the intention not only to encourage the usual school sports, but also to arrange for such pastimes as will develop individual talent and inventiveness. It is the conviction that, while football, baseball, and track athletics are excellent training, they should be supplemented to a considerable degree by natural play. The neglect of this old-time play for the conventional routine of athletics leaves boys too dependent upon others and lacking in resources. With the woods, streams, lakes, hills, fields, and the shops, there are abundant opportunities for all kinds of recreation. The School is divided into two clubs, known as the Blues and the Whites. These clubs have contests in the various athletic sports, to which certain points or credits are assigned. The club whose members have won the greatest number of points is declared the winner for the year. The School is not a sanatorium for sickly boys, but rather a place where boys may grow up and develop under the most favorable condi- tions. Boys having tubercular troubles are not admitted. Riding A limited number of saddle-horses are available at the School for the use of boys who desire to ride. A course in equitation is given on two afternoons a week, to be elected in lieu of other required exercise on those days. The object of the course is to improve balance and to give some knowledge of the elementary prin- ciples of horsemanship. There is no charge for instruction, but boys taking the course are charged $40.00 per term (one-third of the school year) for the use of the horses. There are opportunities for riding, under supervision, on free after- noons, on Sundays, and on whole holidays, and the country roads in the vicinity of the School offer excellent and varied fields for this exercise. [23] A horse may be rented for the exclusive and unlimited use of a boy for $450 for the school year; horses may also be rented at $3 for a half-day or $6 a day. Provision is made at the school stables for the board of horses which boys may wish to keep there for their own use. The rate, including box stall, board, grooming, and shoeing, is $325 for the school year. Special arrangements will be made for fractions of the school year or for caring for a horse left through the summer months. In the event that a boy wishes to purchase a horse in Asheville, every care will be taken to assist him in making a suitable choice. Manual Training Opportunities for carpentry, boat-building, cabinet-making, wood-carving, and other forms of manual work are offered by the Department of Manual Train- ing. A workshop equipped with modern tools and machinery is used for the regular Manual Training courses in the lower Forms, and is, in addition, available at designated periods each day for the use of any boys who are interested in projects of this sort. During these periods there is ample supervision and boys are given assistance in the planning or execution of their work. The Dramatic Society was founded in 1902 and since Dramatics, . 11 1 that time has been among the most active extra- curricular organizations. Several full-length plays are given during the year, and a number of one-act plays. Because of the large number of productions, there is an opportunity for all members of the student body who are interested in Dramatics to participate, and, in addition to the opportunity for acting, boys whose interests are along those lines are encouraged to take part in directing and in the designing and building of scenery. The stage in the Assembly Room, is well supplied with sets, lights and other modern stage equipment. Convocations and Entertainments The last period every Saturday morning is given over to a Convocation of the entire School, which is held in the Assembly Room. At this time students are provided the opportunity to hear many promi- nent men speak on subjects of current interest or on the claims and [24] advantages of various professions. On occasion the period is devoted to demonstration of the work being done by a student organization or to recitals or talks given by members of the School. In the course of the year many distinguished visitors come to Asheville, and, whenever possible, students are afforded an opportunity to hear or to meet these visitors. On Saturday evenings there are entertainments of a more informal nature. As much variety as possible is provided. At least once each month, and usually more often, there is a motion picture given through a modern sound-on-film projector which is the property of the School. There are occasional lectures and readings, recitals of music, and frequent dramatic performances given either by professional players or by the School Dramatic Society. Dances are held regularly at Thanksgiving and during the week of the School graduation activities in June. Boys of the upper Forms are eligible to attend these dances.

Athletics for all students This Period is devoted to Musical, Dramatic, and other Extra-curricular activities; condi- tions of Study are observed on Dormitory Halls for the benefit of those who wish to study at this time. Dinner Study Periods (for younger boys, this Period ends at 8.25) Lights ( depending upon Form) TT TT Wednesdays and Saturdays are half-holidays; Half-Holidays , . , . . . . on these days the regular program between lunch and dinner is suspended. Boys may walk in the country surrounding the school, play golf, ride, and in general follow their own inclinations. Under certain conditions they are permitted to go to town on Wednes- day afternoons. Sundays On Sunday, breakfast is at 8.30, dinner at 1.00, and supper at 6.00. The regular Chapel Service is at 11.00 a.m. After- noons are at the disposition of the boys, much as on half-holidays, except that no boisterous games are permitted. Sunday evenings are devoted to groups which come together at the Headmaster’s House, or in the apartments of other members of the Faculty, for discussion of various phases of school life or of any prob- lems that suggest themselves. On Sunday evening, also, there is always a Reading by the Assistant Headmaster in the Library. Once a month there is a brief Song Service in the Chapel in lieu of the meetings of Discussion Groups. Occasional whole holidays are declared, which Whole Holidays , , . . . .„ , . , the boys may spend at their will, although encouragement is offered to those who care to do mountain climbing and to spend their time out-of-doors. These holidays are ordinarily declared in honor of some alumnus of the School, who, either in college or afterward, has won distinguished recognition. Nearly all parents are fully cognizant of the R ELIGIOUS L IFE r 1 1 • r r 1 1 strain of modern life, of the unusual tempta- tions to which boys are subjected, and of the fact that more men fail today from lack of character than from lack of intellectual equipment. Asheville School, through the simple program of trying always and in every contact of school life to make the teachings and the life of Christ attractive to boys, endeavors thus to perform the highest service of which schools today are capable—to lay a ground-work of Christian character as that upon which all else must be built. The School is non-sectarian. [26] THE GEORGE PERKINS RAYMOND GYMNASIUM THE WILLIAM SPENCER BOYD MEMORIAL CHAPEL Chapel services, led by the Headmaster or one of the Masters, are held every morning. Church services are held on Sunday mornings. The Mitchell Society (named in honor of Charles Andrews Mitchell, co-founder) was organized by the Class of 1923 to foster the religious spirit in the heart of each boy and encourage a life of charity and self- sacrifice on the part of the student body. This Society is conducted entirely by the boys. It publishes annually the School Handbook, which is put into the hands of every boy. CHAPEL PREACHERS Sunday services in the Chapel were conducted during the year by the Headmaster and by the following visiting Ministers, and School and University leaders: Mather A. Abbott, Litt.

Zabriskie, D.D., Episcopal Theological Seminary, Alexandria, Va. The Classification System was introduced The Classification c .. , . c iour years ago to provide a substitute for System , petty disciplinary measures and to encour- age scholarship. It is felt that this system has been of great value in developing School morale. Every student’s status is brought under consideration every three weeks by a Committee composed of representatives of the three upper Forms and three members of the Faculty, with the Dean presiding as Chairman. The student is classified in one of five groups designated by the letters “A” to “E”; “A” being the highest possible rating, and “E” the lowest. In determining classifications equal weight is given to the individual’s scholastic achievement, his effort in his studies as estimated by his Masters, and to his general standing in matters of deportment, and of contributions to the life and spirit of the School. An “E” rating is given only in cases of serious misconduct or violation of fundamental School regulations. Upon the student’s classification depend many of his privileges and the degree of freedom which he shall enjoy during the ensuing three weeks. Permission to study in rooms rather than in the Study Hall, permission to visit town, the number of week-ends to which a boy THE HEADMASTER S HOUSE GRADUATION EXERCISES is entitled, and other rewards are offered for high classifications; for low classifications extra periods of detention and penalties of like nature are in force. In addition to the privileges which may be earned under the system, and purely as an incentive to scholarship, boys whose academic stand- ing has been maintained at a certain level throughout the term are allowed to leave the School one or more days in advance of the regular beginning of the Christmas and Spring vacations. [33] GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Asheville School seeks only those boys whose home life has laid the foundation for good character, manly conduct, and good scholarship. The discipline is not adapted to boys who require severe restrictions, and the method of instruction assumes that the boys have some power of application and will to work. Business dealings must be conducted between the parents and the Headmaster, and all requests should be made to the Headmaster direct and not through the boys. Checks should be made payable to Ashe- ville School, Inc. All rooms are so placed as to have the sun half of each day; so there is not much difference between them. Assignments of rooms to old boys are made during the summer; to new boys, in the order of applica- tion for admission to the School. The rooms are supplied with bedstead, springs, mattress, chiffonier, table, book-shelves and chair. The School also furnishes sheets, pillows, pillow-slips and white spread. Each boy should bring with him a quilt, two double blankets, a small rug, not more than four and one-half by eight feet in size, curtains, colored bedspread if desired, toilet articles, face-towels, bath-towels, washcloths, soap. Rooms are approximately nine by fourteen feet. If curtains are made two and one-half yards long, they can be adjusted to any window. In addition, each boy should be provided with the usual clothing worn during the fall and winter months, including a supply of stiff white collars for wear on special occasions, a rubber coat, or mackintosh, and heavy shoes for tramping. All articles of clothing must be marked plainly with the boy’s full name, not initials. An extra charge will be made for marking anything found unmarked, and for mending any clothing other than that going through the laundry. Each boy’s teeth should receive careful attention before he comes to school, and in case trouble with the eyes is suspected, a careful examina- tion by a competent oculist should be made. Boys may consult a doctor only with the permission of the Headmaster. Taxicabs may be used for transportation between the School and Asheville. If they are to be used for any other trips, special permission [341 must be obtained from the Dean and the party must be accompanied by a master. Members of the Fifth and Sixth Forms may smoke if request is made to the Headmaster by their parents, the smoking to be carried on under the regulations given out at the School. Appointments for interviews with the Headmaster should be made in advance to prevent delay and facilitate satisfactory consultations. Members of the School are not permitted to leave classrooms or study-hall to answer telephone calls. Parents will be saved incon- venience if they will telephone their sons only between 1.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m., or between 9.30 p.m. and 10.00 p.m. (Phone: Asheville 1160.) Boys cannot be accommodated at the School during the Christmas or Easter recess. There is no recess at Thanksgiving. All mail should be addressed to Asheville School, North Carolina. Express packages and freight, to secure prompt delivery, should be sent in care of Asheville School, Asheville, North Carolina. Large allowances of money are unnecessary and harmful, since there is no occasion for any extraordinary expenditure. Parents are, there- fore, urged to give small allowances and are requested to indicate their pleasure concerning the manner of payment, specifying what expenses the allowance should cover. Parents who desire the Head- master to take charge of the allowance money should make a deposit each half-year for that purpose. All payments stop when the deposit is exhausted. Boxes and packages of food are forbidden without special permission of the Headmaster. A moderate quantity of fresh fruit may be sent to boys; all other edibles are considered contraband and will be confis- cated, except at Thanksgiving time, when greater latitude is permitted. Damage to School property in rooms will be repaired at the cost of the occupant of the room affected. Boys will not be permitted to remain away from the School at night or to visit hotels in Asheville except with their parents. Boys shall not sell or trade off personal property of any kind without the written permission of the parent and the consent of the Headmaster. [35] The School cannot assume responsibility for articles left at the School by boys, although every possible effort will be made to restore such belongings to the owner. No firearms are allowed at the School. The deportment, industry and scholarship of each boy are made known to his parents or guardian every three weeks. All text-books and stationery used may be purchased at the School at regular rates. Boys should bring with them the books they studied during the past year. Any boy who absents himself from the School at night without -permission thereby severs his connection with the School. No explanation or excuse will be accepted regarding an infraction of this rule. The use or possession of liquor at any time during the school year will result in dismissal. If the influence of any boy is believed to be harmful to the School, apart from any overt acts of disobedience or insubordination, he may be sum- marily dismissed. There are few extra or incidental expenses. Therefore E X P E N S E S parents may know in advance what the cost for the school year will be. The annual rate covers the tuition fee and charge for board, room, heat, light, and laundry in the amount of two dozen pieces per week. The charge for books and stationery is extra. A blanket charge of $40 per annum, which is included on the first bill of the term, provides for a special athletic fee and subscriptions to the various school periodicals. The School provides all articles used in common by the various School athletic teams—that is, those articles which are not personal or individual property. The School pays the expenses of the teams and purchases the trophies awarded. No extra charge is made for infirmary service or for the services of a trained nurse, unless a special nurse is required. The services of a physician are extra, and the fee is a matter of settlement between the physician and the parent. [36] WATER SPORTS THE SCHOOL EIGHT ON LAKE LURE The annual charge is $1500, payable $800 at the opening of School in September and $700 on February first. Boys are accepted in Septem- ber only with the understanding that they are to remain for the full year. No part of the semi-annual fee will be remitted in case of dismissal, withdrawal, or absence. New boys entering in January will be charged $900 for the rest of the year. New boys entering in February will be charged one-half of the annual rate. The fee for instruction in instrumental music is $120, payable $60 at the opening of school in September and $60 on February first. The fee for the use of horses in regular classes in equitation is $40 per term (one-third of the school year). [39] COURSE OF INSTRUCTION Every applicant for admission must give as Requirements for r , r . reference the names of two or more patrons Admission .. , . , e , , , rr or friends of the School and must furnish a record of previous work and a certificate of honorable dismissal from his former school. It is requested that the Application for Admission and the Prelimi- nary Statement of Information which are enclosed with the catalog be filled in and returned to the School as promptly as possible. A more detailed Statement of Information will be forwarded to all applicants in the Spring of the School year preceding entrance. The Courses of Study have been arranged to Courses of Study . , r , provide the greatest possible latitude for the expression of the interests of the individual student while assuring completion of foundation work required for admission to college. Basic courses in English, Foreign Languages, and Mathematics are required of all; beyond these, the preferences of the boy and the particular requirements of the university or technical school which he intends to enter are given full consideration in completing the schedule. It will be noted from the Outline of Courses below that the work of the three lower Forms is substantially the same for all students and that the number of Optional and Elective Courses increases each year from the Fourth to the Sixth Form. Only those courses listed in the four upper Choice of Studies t-. , _ , borms may be credited as units toward and Schedule , graduation. In the four upper Forms twenty credit periods per week is the normal schedule. Students will not be allowed to deviate from this number except by permission of the Registrar. A schedule which is heavier than normal will not be permitted except in cases in which the student has demonstrated his ability to carry the extra burden. Note—In the case of members of the Sixth Form who are carrying two three-period courses, however, the normal schedule is twenty-one periods per week. (See: “Outline of Courses.”) [40] Study of the Bible is a non-credit course, one period per week, throughout all six Forms. This is required of all students. Elective courses are those courses between which a choice must be made to bring the schedule to the normal twenty periods. Optional courses are those courses which may, in approved cases, be allowed in addition to the required schedule. (In general, Elective Courses will be allowed as Optional Courses when approved and when the schedule permits.) Optional and Elective Courses listed under one Form may be taken by a member of another Form only by permission and when the schedule permits. In making an election of courses, reference must be made to the entrance requirements of the college which the student purposes entering, and to the statement of requirements for graduation which is given at the end of the “Outline of Courses.” Although every possible provision is made for students whose previ- ous preparation has not been in accordance with the School curriculum, such provision is necessarily dependent upon the limitations of the schedule, and it is strongly urged that the applicant be prepared for full and regular membership in the Form which he desires to enter. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are con- Outline of Courses , ,,. .11 sidered as five-period subjects although they actually involve seven periods per week; that is, three periods of recitation plus two double unprepared periods in the laboratory. In addition to the courses listed, non-credit courses in music and art, from the standpoint of either execution or appreciation, are offered in the four upper Forms, and members of these Forms are encouraged to take advantage of these courses. They are held during the “extra- curricular” period (See: “Daily Schedule”), one day a week. There is an extra charge for such courses only when they involve instruction in instrumental music. School organizations such as the Choir, the Glee Club and the Orchestra, give to boys who are interested much practise in reading music and in ensemble work. No expense is incurred by membership in these organizations. [411 The figures indicate the number of periods per week given to each subject.

[42] THE TENNIS COURTS AN AFTERNOON RIDE In general, all courses are conducted in accordance with the syllabi of the College Entrance Examination Board; the specific examina- tion to which each course leads is indicated by the figures in parentheses whenever the name of the course alone is not a sufficient indication. When conditions permit, special reading courses in English, and conversational and reading courses in French (equivalent to three periods per week) are arranged for members of the Sixth Form who have completed the regular school courses in those subjects and who wish to continue their work in them up to the time of entering college. Since such courses do not lead to college credit, they can be allowed only as optional courses, and when the standing of the student with respect to admission to college warrants that use of his time. Courses in Spanish are arranged when the reason for the request is adequate, as, for instance, when the study of that subject has been begun before entrance into the School. Also under special circumstances, German may be substituted for French as the modern language required for graduation. Likewise, three years of Greek may be substituted for the three required years of a modern language when permitted by requirements for admission to the college which the student plans to enter. In general, two units of any language is the minimum accepted for graduation or fulfilling college entrance requirements. As will be seen from the above outline, and subject to the exceptions just made, the satisfactory completion of the following courses is required of all candidates for graduation: Algebra, two years; English, jour years; French, three years; Latin, two years; Plane Geometry, one year. In each case these requirements are in addition to the year of intro- ductory work given in these subjects in the Second Form. New boys will be assigned to standing Assignment to Forms . , , . , . r in each subject on a basis or entrance examinations and after consideration of the record submitted by his previous school. Upon request such examinations will be mailed to the student’s present school, to be taken early in June and returned immediately for correction. Necessary re-classifications are made at the end of the first three weeks of the Fall term. l45l Report of success in the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board will in every instance be accepted in lieu of entrance examinations or for classification in the next higher Form in the subject or subjects concerned and it is urged that prospective candidates take such examinations whenever possible. The following regulations will determine Form membership: i. For membership in the First or Second Form, evidence must be presented of satisfactory completion of Sixth or Seventh Grade subjects, respectively. i. For membership in the Third Form, evidence must be presented of satisfactory completion of Eighth Grade subjects, including courses equivalent to the Second Form courses of The Asheville School cur- riculum, in at least three of the following: Algebra, English, French, and Latin. 3. For membership in the Fourth Form, a minimum of two units must be presented. 4. For membership in the Fifth Form, a minimum of six units must be presented. 5. For membership in the Sixth Form, a minimum of ten units must be presented. 6. Post-graduate standing will be granted only in special cases in which the candidate has fulfilled the requirements for graduation or for admission to college. A unit signifies satisfactory completion of a full year’s work in a course equivalent in quality and content to a course of The Asheville School curriculum, and acceptable for college entrance. Third Form (First Year High School) English is not considered a unit in deter- mining assignment to Forms, but must be presented as a prerequisite for Fourth Form English. In each case, the minimum requirement for any given form is one unit below the normal number. Consequently, a boy presenting the minimum requirements will be expected either to carry an extra subject during a subsequent year or to acquire a unit as a result of summer work in order to be a candidate for graduation with his Form. No student may hold office in, or exercise the privileges of, a Form other than that for which he is qualified in accordance with the above terms. [46] Reports of standing will be mailed to parents every three Reports weeks Sixty is the passing grade. Final grades for the semester or the year are computed on the basis of two-thirds of the daily average plus one-third of the examination grade, but no course is considered passed unless the final examination at the end of the course has been passed. Under special circumstances, boys are permitted to continue courses on probation or to be re-examined. Promotions and Reassignments Promotions are based upon the daily work of the boys, upon tests, and upon examinations which are held at the end of the first semester on the work of that half, and at the end of the School year on the work of the year. Reassignments to a higher or lower Form are made at any time, by vote of the Faculty, for adequate reasons. Honors Honors °f two grades are given for scholarship: High Honors are awarded to boys whose scholastic average is 85 or above; Honors to boys whose average is not lower than 75. Scholarship Cup Each year the name of the boy attaining the highest scholarship record for the year is engraved on the Scholarship Cup. This cup was presented to the School by the Class of 1923. Cum Laude The Cum Laude Society is a national organization established for the encouragement and recognition of high scholarship in preparatory schools. The Asheville Chapter each year elects to membership those members of the Sixth Form who have been leaders in scholarship throughout their last two School years. Admission to College The examinations of the College Entrance Exami- nation Board, used by all colleges which require examinations for admission, are held at the School. Certificates of the School are accepted by colleges which accept students on certificate. [47] STATEMENT OF COURSES ENGLISH There are three distinct units of work offered by the English Department: [A.] English I and II present a thorough study of grammar, spelling, and elementary composition, with especial attention to the development of read- ing interest and ability. [B.] English III and IV complete a mastery of correct English idiom with an accurate and adequate comprehension of language for oral and written expression. A thorough knowledge of grammar is a prerequisite for English IV, in which course the emphasis is placed upon rhetoric. In addition, these courses aim to develop a trained interest in serious literature. No student markedly deficient in the mechanics of English composition will be admitted to either English V or English VI. [C.] English V and VI emphasize an understanding and an appreciation of the poet, the novelist, the essayist, and the dramatist. These courses seek to develop a consciousness of style and a desire for self-expression that is convincing and interesting. Direct preparation is given for the Comprehensive English Examination of the College Entrance Examination Board, and no student whose reading and ability are not sufficient for his satisfactory prepara- tion for this examination within a year will be admitted to English VI.
