At 8:45, everyone is in his homeroom, hats and coats already deposited in lockers. The attendance is taken and the school day has begun. At 8:55 classes start. The days are very full. Depart- ments are numerous as these class pages indicate. A well- rounded secondary education can be attained by all who are interested and inquisitive about all phases of life and prog- ress, inquisitive, that is, enough to do some hard work and plug and even sacrifice a few so -called good times dur- ing each week. They soon find out that work and accom- plishment can be fun too. School and classes today are quite different from those our grandparents attended but so is life itself. Everything changes with progress. The one-room school is practical- ly extinct and large central schools have taken their place. Here everyone can have the advantage of tasting all sorts of subjects and experiences so he will know for certain what he wants to spend his life doing. He gets a broader outlook through contact with more people, both students and teachers. Dr. Samuel M. Brownell, U. S. Commis- sioner of Education says that: The most dramatic fact about education is the gradual transfer of character and competence to the child through his contacts with many teachers. This is not an explosion - it is a revolutionary process. And yet it is just as dramatic and just as impor- tant, as the surgeon operating or as trial by jury. Z 990 , headed by Mr. Willard Slausenberg, is one of the most active in the county. Music classes for grades 1-8, individual lessons and a mu- sic theory class enable students to understand and appreciate music to a greater extent.

Mrs. Bertha Reddy teaches Mathematics 7. These courses form a basis for further study in this field. In order to become a success in many lines of endeavor these subjects are essential.
