Avoca had been granted permission by the New York State Education Department to maintain and operate a four year high school. This meant that Avoca children could receive a high school diploma without going away from home to do so. Complete high school courses in English, mathematics languages and history would now be offered. Early this school year, just forty years later, we were notified by the State Education Department that our school had met the requirements for a Six-Year High School covering the work of grades seven to twelve inclusive and that hereafter we would be certified under this plan. This set-up allows a continuity in program beginning with the seventh grade. It brings the seventh and eighth grades out of the elementary classification and gives them the advantage of participation in activities with the high school students, a privilege hitherto not enjoyed. Under this plan, a smoothly progressive program can operate with no serious interruptions. In other words, the seventh grade becomes a year of orientation, orientation to specialistic teachers and the high school system. The eighth grade develops into a year of exploration. The student explores numerous fields of study so that when he becomes a member of the ninth grade class he will be better able to make a tentative choice of a curriculum. This brings a student to the last three years if specializa- tion in the chosen field of work. Obviously, this plan e iminetes such things as elementary graduation, association with just one teacher, and most importantly the serious orientation problems at an age when dropping out of school may become the solution of the problem. continued on the next page 17 W . f Wffgff 9 5 Ll L' e,,aw!.'Kv1. - .., L 3 Z .qleglf W:

However, the grown-up feeling soon disappeared when we were called nGreenN because we couldn't find our seats in study hall. We had the privilege of having one of the new teachers, Miss Millspaugh, as our home-room teacher. She has proved to be a very helpful and understanding class advisor. The following officers were elected by our class members: President, Harold Katnerg Vice President, Charlotte Wightmang Secretary Q Treasurer, Barbara Hortong Static Reporter, Ruth Collins, Student Council Rep., Barbara Horton. We were well represented in the various musical organizations, sports, and clubs second semester we were extended the privilege Club. Nine Freshmen were accepted. of the school. At the beginning of the of applying for membership in the Honor This year both the boys and girls Social Evening sponsored by the student of our class learned to dance and attended the council and the faculty. We contributed five dollars and Christmas presents to the Red Cross, thus becoming members of that organ- ization. We are proud because one of our boys is on the varsity basketball team. We are happy to be the Freshman Class in this beautiful and efficiently OPSHU' ized school, which offers its students more advantages than many other schools ln our vicinity. 16 Af

Problems of orientation, exploration, tentative choice and specialization will constantly arise which demand careful and serious study. Under the six year plan, this service will be offered to a greater degree in order that the student may have an uninterrupted growth. In the new curriculum which is being developed to serve better the social needs of the pupil, the social studies are receiving major consideration. The social studies laboratory is all around us. By means of a first hand study of the 1nd1vldual's relationship to school, home, church, and other social groups, it is hoped each pupil will acquire an appreclatlon of the privileges and opportunities of citizenship ln his own community, and through this appreciation, gain a better understanding of his relationships to a state and nation. The traditional courses of study placed great emphasis on the facts of history and geography, but gave little consideration to the vital social problems of the moment.- The redirected secondary school program of today, in reversing this emphasis, wlll serve more effectively the individual pupil and the social order for which the school is maintained. In similar manner, other fields of study are being streamlined to meet the new economic conditions. Intensive work is being carried on in check- ing the physical and mental defects of each pupil. Thus through corrective measures applied by the physical education, health and guidance depart- ments, each pupil has become an independent problem--the solution of which will produce a better individual, better adapted to take his place ln an ever changing social and economic society. 18 mn avg fb rt gain, f
