WITH AN EYE TO THE FUTURE.. . . . our administration brought revolutionary changes to Girls Polytechnic. Through the new Iook our school has now become a technical high school in the true sense of the word. With a revised curriculum and new equipment, students started the school year with much enthusiasm. Among the various courses added, one is practical nursing. The Portland school system chose Girls Polytechnic to pioneer this entirely new course. In the business department, in addition to the regular courses, instruction in the operation of the calculating machine is available. In home economics, the relationship of foods and clothing to various occupations is stressed, and information and skills, basic to such occupations, are taught. Only those students interested in the courses and able to profit from them after having fulfilled special entrance requirements are accepted. Senior girls from other high schools may be admitted for one-halt clay training in some special field. Girls Polytechnic will still meet college entrance requirements, as well as prepare girls for employment or specialized training upon graduation. Looking toward the future with more new plans and courses, Girls Polytechnic will continue to progress with . . . VISION UNLIMITED.

COUNSELING freshman Gail Bolin is Mrs. Ross, who explains the courses that will be available to the sophomores next year. A girl in conferring with her counselor at various times finds that she is not one among many, but an individual who is being helped in her develop- ment of mind, personality, and interests for the future. The approach to our new curriculum is planned to appeal to her interests and to help her attain goals of proficiency. This achievement is furthered by stressing cooperation and fine atti- tudes and instilling pride in our school. The goal for which our school is now striving is adequate preparation of all students for entry into the business or homemaking world or into schools of higher learning, according to their choices.
