CHAMBERLAIN EARNS ACCREDITATION! s JIZSCCGIIJWGGJ.. This December 7 brought good news to our community. Pupils of Tampa's new Chamberlain High School were told that their school had been accredited by the Southern Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The association announced the acceptance of Chamber- lain on the approved list at a meeting at Richmond, Va., where 77 other white schools and 37 Negro schools were accredited. There were 16 white schools and three Negro schools dropped. Ateo l.eto, Chamberlain principal, who has been attend- ing the Richmond sessions, returned to school recently and reported successful accreditation to the pupils. Nm!

I Manatee High student and faculty committee explain their Study Day plan to Chamberlain students, faculty, and parents. The school also has passed inspection by the representa- tives of the Florida committee on accreditation. Accreditation is an important concern in the successful graduation of a senior. The advantages of accreditation are many. The prime benefit being exemption from college en- trance exams by a student entering a college in his own state. Most of the out-of-state colleges will not require an entrance examination of a graduate from such a high school. Accreditation is a sure sign that the school has reached a high standard of evaluation and is progressing toward even higher goals. - STUDY DAY Study Day faculty committee set the dates.

XVith the avowed intention of adapting the program of work at Chamberlain High School to the needs of its stu- dents, the school is this year incorporating a new program of studies with the old. Every other VVednesday has been desig- nated as Study Day, a day when students make out their own schedules, with the approval of bulletin room teachers, to fit their own needs. This means that a student who needs extra help in a particular subject or has special interest or a project can elect to spend more than one period with that subject and instructor. All clubs and assemblies, and field trips will be held on this day. Special practices and intra-mural games will be allotted time.
