J. P. MCGLASSON, Principal Q The Vallue of a. High School can only be measured in terms of its re- sults, and the results to be obtained are influenced and greatly affected by the facilities of the institution. We are now engaged in an expansion program, a program we trust commensurate with the educational needs of our community for the present and near future. This program not only includes more room and equip- ment but also such expansion of curriculum as will make the course of study more pllasticg a course that will lenld itself more adequately to indi-G vidual tastes and abilities. The vocational courses are constantly growing in popularity. There have been many requests for Manual Training and several students are particularly interested in art. The demand for commercial subjects indi- cates necessary expansion in this department. Each year the school is being more fully appreciated as a health agencyg an institution for the development of strong bodies as well as trained intellects. We firlly appreciate the value of an adequate physical education program for both girls and boys and arrangements are being made for this instruction. We are very grateful for the progress of this school and appreciate the privilege of having a part in its expansion and growth. This onward marclh is written year 'by year in eaclh volume of our Gptimist. Such a record is cherished by all who knwow our high school. To read the Optimist is to set the 'blood a-tingle, though time has slowed the pulse. J. P. McGlasson. Page Seven
