f Ijh e C UR I ER f7I ff zyaf fy DIQINCIDAI. IT IS hard for Boise people to realize the difficult situation which,Z. L. Foy faced when he became principal of Boise High School last fall. Born near Saluda, South Carolina, Mr. Foy was reared on a farmand later attended the high school in Saluda. He entered the University of South Caro- lina in 1917, but his education was interrupted by the World War. In the spring of 1918 he entered the training camp at Plattsburg, New York, receiving the commission of second lieutenant. From Platts- burg he was assigned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Cambridge, Massachusetts. He re-entered the University of South Carolina in 1919 and received his B.A. degree in 1921. As a mathe- matics instructor, Mr. Foy taught in the high school in Laurens, South Carolina, later accepting the prin- cipalship of the high school in Easley, and later in Rocky Mount, South Carolina, where he remained until he came to Boise. He spent four summers at Z- L- FW Columbia University, earnings his Master's degree. Mr. Foy came here from the South to an entirely new and unfamiliar section of the country, to a new school, a new faculty and a new student body. In the short space of one scholastic year he has developed an amazing understanding of Boise High School and its problemsg he has won the good will and cooperation of the faculty, and he has gained the admiration and respect of the entire student body. All phases of school activities have flourished because of the encouragement Mr. Foy has given them. With the revival this year of the activity advisory period, the school went back to the old system, but in a more advanced and progressive manner. All assemblies, programs, class, club and committee meetings were held during this period. Also supervised study and individual student attention was given by the adviser. This activity period system is perhaps the keynote of Mr. Foy's administrative policy, for he has encouraged one hundred per cent participation in extra-curricular school life. Because of this policy students have had the advantage of witnessing many and a great variety of educational and entertaining school assemblies as well as class programs. Mr. Foy also sponsored several inter-advisory contests, including spelling matches and a basketball tournament. The advisories this year had ofhcers instead of the former system of home room representatives to conduct activities. The presi- dents meet in assembly with the Student Council. Mr. Foy is interested in the school as a whole and he is also interested in individual students. His attitude in this matter has tended to establish a more personal relationship between the students and the faculty in general. A spirit of wholesome understanding and of friendship has been in evidence. The present principal's policy has been a constructive one. Impartiality, a sympathetic understanding, and absolute fairness mark his dealings with the students. Mr. Foy's secretary is Mrs. Alice Smith, who takes charge of the enrollment and keeps records of the credits made by students. Miss Mabel Nye, assistant secretary, has charge of issuing the daily and special bulletins. She also does the banking of money for school clubs, classes and organizations, and does secretarial work for the school. Mrs. Blanche Jackson has charge of the attendance. It is her work to check up on the absences and tardiness of the 1,543 students enrolled in Boise High School. 18
