'Uf HRS 'Hs' Wf, A J The district meet was merely a preliminary to the State meet con- ducted by the University of Illinois, under the auspices of the Illinois High School Athletic Association. This state meet had grown to be such a huge affair that it was impossible to take care of all the athletes in one meet. The state was therefore divided into several districts, and only the winners of first and second places in the district meet were allowed to compete in the state meet. Our district was held at Watseka and consisted of all the schools in Kankakee, Iroquois, Vermilion, Ford, Champaign, and Piatt counties. Under such competition Cissna Park was able to place only one man although five were entered. Hurliman won a medal in the meet by placing in the discus throw. Our last meet was the little five, in which Milford, Wellington, Loda, Stockland, and Cissna Park competed. As in the county meet, Milford was again an easy winner with Cissna Park placing second. Hamrick again starred in the mile, cutting down his county time by six seconds. Reutter, running true to form, finished second. Hurliman was able to place only second in the discus this time although the winning throw was considerably less than the winning throw at the county. L. Baylor placed third in the 50 yard dash, 100 yard dash, pole vault, and 220 low hurdles, and second in the broad jump and high jump. C. Baylor placed third in the 440 yard run, but failed by a tenth of a second to place in the hurdles. Cissna's re- lay team made up of Ryan, Yergler, L. Baylor, and C. Baylor, won second in the relay. Following are the letter men for this season: Hamrick, O. Reutter, L. Baylor, Hurliman, Koegler, A. Yergler, Ryan, and C. Baylor, all seniors except Hamrick and Kogler. TENNIS Tennis has not been a major sport in our high school due to the fact that we have but one court, and it a very poor one. There are a large num- ber of players in both the grades and the high school who are enthusiastic over the game and it may be that better tennis facilities will be had in the future. Our school puts out a team each year, however, and a few matches are played. This year our team was composed of L. Baylor and Crum. Crum was easily the best player in the high school, and capable of furnishing good competition to any high school player in the state. Our only matches this year were in the state tournament at Champaign. In singles Crum drew Hyman of Hyde Park first and was defeated 6-2, 6-3. Baylor defeated the Champaign entrant 6-1, 6-1, and also the Westfield entrant 6-2, 6-1,. He lost in the quarter finals to Hyman 6-2, 6-2. In doubles they won their match over Danville, 6-2, 6-1, but lost to University High of Chicago by a score of 6-8, 6-2, 6-4. 1926 IPAGE 621

X, r rftrwmiwwtf J f j W - A ,X 'lxlii tryflf f f f Q-l,,-l-, JJ OUR SCHOOL GENERAL ORGANIZATION The school year is made up of two semesters of eighteen weeks each, or 180 school days exclusive of all vacations. The school day begins at 8 :40 A. M. and ends at 3:45 P. M., with a noon intermission from 12:00 to 1:00. This time is divided into nine periods, seven of which are class periods each forty minutes long, exclusive of pass- ing. A twenty minute assembly period is held during the forenoon from 10:10 to 10:30. The last period of the day is only thirty minutes in length and is used for conferences, athletic practice, and other school activities. Class organizations are perfected, and each class is under the direct supervision of some teacher. No student may drop from the class or from the school without the consent of the princapal. GRADES AND EXAMINATIONS Sixteen credits are required for graduation. A credit is given for a year's work in a major subject. The passing grade is 70 and the median is about 82. Grades are given out out three times during each semester. Examinations covering the work of the entire semester are held at the end of each semester. Not all students are required to take these examinations. Our exemption plan is as follows: Any student may be exempt from the semester examination in any class in which his average for the three six weeks terms has been 82 or above, provided he has been neither tardy to, nor absent from the class. One absence or tardiness raises his required average to 86. Two times absent or tardy raises the required average to 90. Three times absent or tardy makes the student subject to the examination regardless of his average. No student may be exempt from the examina- tions who has received a U CUnsatisfactoryJ in deportment during the semester. The students final grade for the semester is the average of the three term grades and the examination grade. Students failing the first semester in a full year subject will be allowed credit if the average for the year is passing. If a second semester grade in a year subject is below 70, no credit is recorded regardless of the average. A failure in a subject may be made up by repeating the subject, or in exceptional cases, by consent of the principal, a special examination in the subject may be given. Bookkeeping and typewriting required two periods daily. Some students will need to repeat. It is better to do this than to go on with the work half learned. Students having less than three credits are classified as freshmeng those with less than seven, as sophomoresg and those with less than eleven, as juniors. 1926 IPAGE 641
