Hallman Principal Alice Rogers Edna Derby Dean of Girls Secretary ADMINISTRATION IN addition to the usual work of attendance records, reference library and office routine the organization fosters a number of features some of which deserve mention. Home room organization is widely known for its constructive courses in citizenship, vocational guidance and homemaking. It is here that the school singing is developed and preparation under pupil leadership is made for the annual song assembly. The thrift-budget system provides revenue for all exculars, except social events, and is typical of the co-operative work by all pupils to support the activities of the school. The assembly plan is worked out with two ideas in mind; to develop as much talent among pupils as possible and to bring the best outside talent available to the school. For the realization of the first aim, home room programs arc encouraged Friday mornings, and each of the classes prepares a program in the library once a month. An assem- bly committee consisting of five teachers purchases talent from lyceum agencies and secures other num. bers for the general school assemblies once a month. The school has a three year program of vocational guidance. Year one, many business and professional men and women from the community come into the school and hold conferences with pupils interested in their respectiev calling. Year two, the whole school in small groups under skilled guides visits factories, stores, shops, institutions and studios all over the city. Year three, two experts in vocational guidance spend a week in the school devoting most of their time to individual conferences. The Washington Education Fund, established this year, enables a committee composed of the Counselor, Dean, and Principal to maek small loans to worthy pupils in nee dof help. The fund was made possible by the generous donations received from the Travel Club, the Abbie Stone Abbott Club, the Class of 1927, and the Delphian Society. 1 9 3 0M Eleven
