Elementary-Evenine p T AA lg , 1 N l . z i The Y M C A Evening Elementary School is composed of several classes: one for foreigners learning English, and the regular Sixth, Sev- enth and Eighth Grade classes. They meet on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights each week, between the hours of 5:45 and 9:45. The students are young working men who have come to realize the .fact that they cannot progress without a better education. As boys they re- fused to believe that education was worth while but experience has taught them wisdom and they are ready to pay the price. Their earnestness is apparent to anyone who visits these classes or who stops to realize some- thing of the sacrifice it means to attend regularly. And regularity of attend- ance is the salient characteristic of the student in this department, although it involves self-denial in the matter of social and recreational activities, since a program of three school nights a week leaves little leisure to the man who works long hours each day. I Many of the men come long distances from their work in order totake advantage of the education which they are acquiring here at the Y M C A School And as these long trips are utilized for study they are thus turned to good advantage. As a whole the Elementary Classes are doing excellent work and if attendance continues to increase at the present rate, new classes will have to be formed to accommodate the new students. ej 4 Eg ,fr fl Page Sixty

Richmond Frank Vlcek Grant W'eeks AUGUST Walter Gryska The Graduating Class for this year is eager for the end of the- present semester. Most of its members have been coming to the night school for the past two years and their graduation will mark the end of the first stage of their journey. Their outlook is rather different from that of the day school elementary graduate because of their maturity. To them school has been a serious matter, an opportunity which they have had to work for, insfad of a bug-bear which could only be disposed of by getting through wit it. The members of this class have kept together from the very be- ginning and this companionship has been stimulating indeed. Nothing draws men closer together than to struggle toward a common goal. May they continue to stick together in high school where they will surely iind even more good fellowship and plenty of helpful friends E B RICHMOND Page Fifty-nine Qu 'W L
