IMPROVEMENTS OF SCHOOL ELECTIONS Many outstanding improvements were made this year in school elections. These improvements per- tained for the most part to the election of Student Council members. The Student Council of last year nominated six candidates from each class, whose names were posted on the bulletin board. These candidates had a chance to refuse the nomination. lf they chose to run, the next step was to appoint a campaign manager. The campaign manager stated the candidate's qualifications and experience in clubs as an officer. Then the can- didate himself was given an opportunity to request support for his candidacy. Two representatives were then elected from each class. The class presidents automatically become members l of the Student Council. The elections of class officers were conducted in the same way. We consider this change a step forward and when the new system is fully established we believe all will agree that our elections are much improved. by Clairette Poitraw '55 ADULT EDUCATION Many older people have wished that they could take some of the courses which the high school students are now taking and which were not offered when they were in school. To satisfy this desire, an Adult Education Program was set up at A.C.H.S. this year. The program consists of weekly two-hour courses in Sewing and Typing. Sewing is taught on Monday night by Mrs. Byers with the enrollment of 25. Because of such large enrollment, 52, in typing, it is given on Monday and Thursday nights. Classes in Agriculture and English were also offered but were discontinued because of insuffi- cient attendance. Registration and the first classes were held on December 6th and have been continued every week since. The program has been very successful and, with the cooperation of the townspeople, will be continued next year. by Alice Bolstridge '55 Wheee! School is closed Peter's masterpiece
