gcbforiaf On Consolidation As lhe lopic ol consolidalion has been on lhe lips ol lhe cilizens ol Hollis lor some lime, il seems only lilling lhal an edilorial should deal wilh lhal subiecl, consolidalion, Perhaps il would help lo- menlion some ol lhe advanlages and disadvan- lages ol consolidalion. When lwo or more lowns combine lo have one cenlral high school, lhe cosl ol operaling would be divided accord- ing lo lhe enrollmenl ol each lown, lhus lhe school having lhe largesl number ol pupils would, ol course, pay more. ll our schools were consolidaled, we would be able lo hire leachers who were beller lrained lor each subiecl laughl, lhus giving lhe sludenls a much beller loundalion in each subiecl. As il is now we cannol have lyping and shorlhand in our high school, and sludenls who wanl lo have a business lraining, have lo go lo a college lo oblain lhe necessary lraining lo work in lhe business world. A larger, beller equipped school would eliminale lhis. ll we had more leachers lhe exlra aclivilies could be divided among lhem so lhal one leacher would nol be laking lime lrom regular sub- iecls lo coach various aclivilies lhrough lhe year, such as public speak- ing, dramas, and coaching alhlelics. The grammar schools 'ol Hollis would benelil lrom lhis plan because lhe pre- senl high school could easily be remod- eled lo accommodale lhe presenl en- rollmenl ol lhe elemenlary schools. This would make il much easier lor our mu- sic inslruclor because he would nol have lo spend a lhird ol his lime on lhe rough roads going lrom one school lo anolher. Now lel us lurn lo lhe disadvanlages. ln a large school each sludenl does nol have lhe individual allenlion as received in a smaller school, because ollen lhe ones who are nol so lorcelul are lhe ones who receive very lillle nolice and lhere is less chance lor lhe sludenl who is nol so well known lo gel inlo lhe aclivilies. ln a large school lhere is also addi- lional accidenl and lire hazard. ll is much easier lo aid a small group ol children lo salely, lhan il would be lo help a large group. A disadvanlage which should be men- lioned in regard lo consolidalion ol ele- menlary schools is lhe lacl lhal small boys and girls ol lirsl grade age would be away lrom lheir molhers loo long il lhey had lo be lransporled lo a cen- lral school. Ollen limes lhe disadvanlages oul- weigh lhe advanlages, so il is a subjecl which should be very carelully consid- ered belore any draslic sleps are laken. Allhough my days al l-lollis l-ligh School are nearing lheir end, l slill would like lo see l-lollis l-Iigh prosper, and lhus enable lhe sludenls lo enioy lhe advanlages lhal l have nol had. Virginia W. lllingworlh '49 Choosing A Career Choosing a career is one ol lhe mosl imporlanl sleps in a person's lile. Every boy and girl when in school should have al leasl an idea as lo whal he wanls lo do when he linishes high school. Many young people know even belore lhey enler, and lhey plan ahead wilh eager- ness. Today in high schools lhere are many boys and girls who haven'l even a vague idea as lo whal lheir career will be.
