eve opments of the ast Wo ears W Many changes have taken place in the organization and equipment of our school in the past year or two. One major improvement has been the completion of our Gymnasium in Sep- tember, 1928, and its financing without a bond issue and without any great inf crease in tax rate was a tribute to the ability of the Board of Trustees. The old Gymnasium was then converted into a shop, and the sheds used as shops were torn down, materially improving the grounds and the shop facilities. A new Dodge bus took the place of the worn out Pierce and has been run economically and without accident. This year the Gymnasium was improved by the installation of acoustic drapes, which reduced the echo and reverberation and makes hearing conditions much better, besides improving the appearance. On the stage velour drapes and improvements to the lighting system gives Ferndale a school auditorium of the best kind. The old pianos have been traded in on a new and more suitable piano, new typewriters and tables have improved the typing department, the library has been rendered fully effective by changes in its organif zation and location, a filmfslide projector and a motion picture machine purchased, more equipment for the Gymnasium in the way of apparatus, new lockers in both boys' and girls' locker rooms, painting the interior of the shop and constructing a sidewalk from the shop to the building by the shop classes, a new coat of paint for the main building and extensive refinishing in the interior, an intercommunif eating phone system and new equipment for the office, the selection of many new text and library books, all these things have had their part in making our school progressive and modern in equipment. Accompanying the changes in equipment have been changes in organizaf tion. The supervised study plan using six onefhour periods, changing from the old marking system to the new statefwide system, the introduction of the Merit System, modernization of teaching methods, a close scrutiny of the course of study and the curriculum, the introduction of an activities and advisory period, these things have perfected our organization and increased the effectiveness of our school.
