Mrs. McCormick The Staff for the Annual this year was somewhat decreased in size, in comparison to the staff of other editions; however, we will leave it to you to decide wherher or not this has been for better or worse. The Staff was not chosen at random from the student body, but those persons who had demonstrated qualities necessary for certain departments were chosen to do some special work which they seemed best qualified. All credit for the successful completion of this volume must be given to the unusual spirit of cooperation that has dominated the Corrian staff. The Staff, in turn, wish to thank the advertisers for their aid in helping Corrv High School publish an Annual. Thanks is due also to any others who have in any way assisted in the publication of the Corrian.

THE CORRIAN Y i 9i9 A ( iO Members of the Corrian Staff and Members of Corry High School: I wish to congratulate the members of the staff and faculty advisors of The Corrian for this year’s excellent year book. It is a difficult task to prepare a year book, but I am sure that the members of the staff are amply repaid for their efforts. Students arc always interested to know more of the school they attend and, with this in mind, I wish to bring to your attention some important facts concerning it. At the present time there are 2.73 students attending Senior High School. Of these, 59 arc seniors, 78 are juniors and 119 are sophomores. Next year’s entering class will number approximately 115. It will be of interest to know what becomes of the students who arc graduated from Corry High School. From the class of 192.8 four are attending higher grade of High School, twenty-five are attending colleges, universities, state normal school, and other higher institutions, two for nurses, twenty-five in stores and office or factory work, five in other forms of employment. Students graduating from the commercial course have an opportunity of obtaining experience in various offices in town. After graduation from high school they arc able to earn their living from the results of their high school education. The same plan is to be carried out next year in the Industrial Course. Seniors will be given an opportunity of working two weeks in the various shops in town and attending school two weeks. Upon completion of the high school course they will be prepared towork in the factory in which they have obtained their experiences. Students graduating from the College Preparatory Course fit themselves for entrance into colleges, universities, and normal schools. In these modern rimes it is absolutely essential for a boy or girl to obtain at least a high school education. To meet the keen competition for good positions a larger number of students remain in high school and are graduated, which is a good indicator that the students in general want a high school education. The high school of today differs a great deal from the high school ten or fifteen years ago. Extra-curricular activities now play an important part in the high school course. The student has his choice of clubs, also of the types of athletics he wishes to enter. And he has an opportunity to try out for various school positions, and in general has an opportunity to obtain practical experience, by actually taking charge of varied activities. In this respect the modern high school has a decided advantage over the older type. The faculty wishes to co-operate at all times with the students so that they may obtain the maximum amount of education. The faculty appreciates the co-operation of the students given to them in all things, and it is onlv by the excellent co-operation between the two that the best results may be obtained. In closing I wish again to thank the members of the Corrian Staff on the excellent year book that they have published and extend to the graduating class the best of wishes for their future success.
