This year, for the first time, we are happy to have in our school sixty-four students from Ehrhardt. At Bells a rich and varied program of studies is carried on. When a. student enters the ninth grade he decides his program of studies for the full four years 3 high school. This selection may consist of either the college preparatory, ocational, or general program of studies. Two types of diplomas are given, the State High School Diploma, or the Academic Diploma. Requirements for the Academic Diploma are greater and more rigid than those for the State High School Diploma. Sanford! Sanford! Active!

They also represent about $5000. -We need tenor saxophones, baritone horns, bass horns, a large bass drum, and other in- struments for a more complete instrumentation. One band member has attended two summer band clinics, and is now a big asset as our first drum-majorette. We will have majorettes also, as. girls attend majOrette schools.
