Seven credits in English are required for graduateion. It is the aim of the English Department to teach organized thought. to aid in correct speaking, and to increase understanding of principles underlying the 11se of words in sen- tences. Two credits in Geometry are compul- sory for graduation. In studying Ge- ometry the student learns to interpret as well as to apply theorems in terms of figures, to work independently in prov- ing propositions and exercises. Two semesters of American History are re- quirements set by the Superintendent and School Board. For college en- trance the student is required to take history during the Junior and Senior years. General History is a study of man from prehistoric days until the present time. This subject should he chosen in the first and second semesters. Zoology. which is a general study of all types of animal life, and Botany, which is the study of plant life, are of great cultural value as well practical application. These two sciences should be taken in the tenth year. The languages which may he elected are Latin and Spanish.

High School Trains for Business The student who is planning to en- ter the business world after graduation should take the Commercial Course in High School. The Business Course is designed especially to meet the require- ments in English and business tech- nique necessary for entrance into busi- ness life. Men and women entering the business world have letters to write, rec- ords to file, and cash transactions to handle. East High is trying to meet the demands of the public. For these rea- sons, a course in Business Training and Bookkeeping was introduced into our school. The five semesters of English offered in the Business Course are the same as those in the General Course. The chief business training to be had, however, is that in Bookkeeping, Typing, and Shorthand. In Bookkeeping I, the stu- dent learns basic fun- - damentals and under- lying principles of Bookkeeping. Book- keeping II is a more advanced study of fundamentals including practice work office training. This work is done on adding machines. comptometer, and the calculator.

Big shots give inside offic e dope just Slumling Around 4 . just Helping the Boys J Hangout of Woinzs and Fishes Mister Principal As the principal is directly respon- sible to the superintendent and the Board of Education for the successful manipulation of the high school, so he is responsible to the public for the funds it has invested, through the me- dium of taxation, for the purpose of educating the children of the commun- ity. Success or failure of the school is in his hands. lf he succeeds, the peo- ple will not regret what they spend in the way of taxes: if he fails, the dam- age wrought is inestimable. The principal has charge of the en- tire building. He must see that the phy- sical needs are supplied and that the entire plant is in running order. In conjunction with the superin- tendent the principal must provide the proper courses of study, and make the right selection of text books. Policies outlined by the principal. with the cooperation of the faculty, be- come a part of the high school organi- zation. Faculty committees on finance, scholarship, assembly, faculty meetings. clubs, and on such matters of school administration, are appointed by him. and he is usually an honorary member of such committees. All club activities must receive the sanction of the prin- cipal. He issues bulletins and announce- ments and signs requisitions for sup- plies and repairs. Matters of discipline are referred to him for settlement. Mul- titudinous duties concerning administra- tion are taken care of daily.
