It is the Grst time we have had the same Faculty for two successive years. Sometimes it was illness and sometimes Faculty members were taken from us for positions in the High Schools. We believe we are making steady progress. It is a source of gratification to see some of our experiments growing to become the settled policy of other schools in our midst. Our school was the first junior High School in the city to put out a printed newspaper and annual. Results show that this has been a wise move, affording a fine opportunity for journalistic efforts and experience in business methods to get it published and circulated. Also our school pioneered the movement to make a major sub' ject of all required Manual Training and providing a Hxed schedule that did not conflict with academic subjects. This has worked splendid advantage to both Academic and Manual Training Departments. We regret that scarcity of funds due to depression has prevented the expansion in Art and Music that was simultaneously planned. Under great difficulties we are working up rm interest in building up an orchestra. Our school was the first to emphasize the importance of exploring the subjects of Latin and Algebra in the Academic courses by making those subjects compulsory for a half year, allowing the students the option of continuing them or taking other subjects without loss for having made the trial. The results of this experiment are altogether very satisfying. At the same time it is an economical experiment since it consolidates the work in that half grade. Q ' Our Remedial school for the benent of students who needing help in self control or in mastering of lessons is another pioneer development in Highland Heights. It is a necessary adjunct in a department system. It has been standardized under one teacher this year and an accurate record kept every day of every pupil who comes. It is easy to glean from this record that frequently a pupil who gives or has trouble with one teacher, needs attention to his work with another. The principal finds this record of inestimable value in dealing with troublesome students. Miss Malone has rendered very efficient service in the conduct of this school. Our school has with others fostered the general Activity period, believing that it has offered much in the cultural life as well as the formation of character in studentsf The Safety Council and Safety Patrol not only safeguards the lives of the students but inculcates law and order among them and develops wonderfully those who take part in this worthy program. There is no greater control for any group of individuals than self control. The principal wishes to take this opportunity to express his appreciation and thanks to the Safety Patrol of this school as well as Glenn school where the same activity has contributed so much to the discipline of students especially at assembly, at recess and at dismission of pupils. This school and Glenn are also pleased to have had a part with our Truant Officer, Mr. Sam Allen-now better known as school vistor in establishing the attendance. This court of Inquiry stands between delinquent pupils and' the juvenile Court which more properly deals with boys who have a criminal juvenile record. There have been some remarkable improvements in the records of boys brought before this Court. It is quite obvious that the best results in school cannot be obtained unless attendance is good. It is astonishing that parents will take their chil' dren out of school for many very trivial causes, One day out of school frequently causes 40 per cent loss. No lessons on the day the pupil is out and none on the following day because he was absent and didn't know where the lesson was. Our athletic teams have measured up to a good standard this year. Mr. Boyles rendered faithful and efficient service coaching the football team. The Girls' Basketball Team and' the Boys' Basketball Team. The latter were runners up in the league tournament, losing only to Tarbox. He also coaches the Girls' Basketball Team. Mr. Griffin is in charge of the Boys' Baseball Team and also the Marble Tournament and Boys' Hobby Fair. Miss Gulbert was in charge of the Girls' Hobby Fair which won first place over all the junior High Schools of the City and County who entered. fContinued on page '2.'7j Tags Eleven
