we lorincilaa ji 255098 At East High School our chief aim has al- ways been, through guidance and in manage- ment, instruction and inspiration, to help each boy or girl to choose his subjects wisely and to plan his program so that it meets his needs and gives him his best chance for success: to help him develop right attitudes, self-direction, and self-discipline: to help him become a well trained, self-supporting citizen, a clear-thinking. well-informed, intelligent voter: to help him understand, in appreciation of his free education, his responsibility in avoiding all waste of time and money through failure and for doing his utmost to grow into the highest type of indi- vidual and citizen, honest, eflicient, law abiding, and saneathinking. However, this year, in order to help the pupils prepare for and adjust themselves to new condi- tions demanded by the war, several changes have been made in our program of studies and in our guidance procedures. At East, as requested by military authorities, we have encouraged capable pupils to take more mathematics, chemistry, physics, and the new course of prefiight aeronautics. We have urged girls to take shop and mechanical drawing. Our 12A social problems has been changed to global geography. All twelfth grade English courses in literature and creative writing, in dramatics, in journalism, and in business English have been reduced from five to two periods a week and made elective. Instead, three periods of War English are re- quired of seniors. Almost half of army and navy screen tests consists of the study of words as given in War English. The rest of this test is MISS MARIE GUGLE Principal MR. H L. MCMILLAN Vice Principal material taught in physics, aeronautics, and war mathematics. All l2A's are required to take War Math I, five periods, or War Math II, three periods. The first is for pupils with little of no mathematics in senior high school. The other is for pupils who are studying physics and probably aero- nautics and have elected advanced courses in high school mathematics. In the physics classes, special attention is given to radio and telegraphy. In our Little Theatre, a new broadcasting booth is being erected as a result of the interest aroused in our new two-period-a-week course in radio and broadcasting. Besides these academic course changes, all 12A boys have been given five hours in special physical fitness work. This should make the transition into the armed services much easier. But the war is calling girls, too, to war work and more strenuous living. So the 12A girls take three periods of special gym work. The 12B girls may take first aid. Eleventh grade boys take first aid in their regular gym classes. To help meet the guidance needs, part time of one man and one woman teacher has been assigned to guidance. Reading tests have been given to all in lOB, l2B, and 12A grades. Each pupil's score in speed and comprehension is re- corded with his I. Q. The 10A's were given Kuder's Preference Test to aid in vocational guidance. This is to be fol- lowed by individual interviews concerning special abilities and by individualized tests in the special fields, as for mechanical or clerical aptitudes. All 10B pupils in small groups have been given instruction and guidance in How to Study, to be followed by individual conferences. Recently screen tests Army A-12 and Navy V-12 were given senior boys. Three East boys, fContinued on page 661 Page Nine
