he Hiapaie A TRIBUTE Independence High School has made rapid advances along the lines of general education the past ten years. The community is to be congratulated upon these advances. The Board of Education, re- presentative of the community, has made us its debtors. I.H.S stands today afully accreditted High School. It is housed in a building of which we are justly proud, Our curriculum has de- veloped from a single compulsory course of study, until now there is practically no limit to the courses that may be taken. The indus- trially inclined find in Domestic Science, Agriculture and Manual Training Cincluding Printingj, much that they were formerly unable to get. A complete business course may be had. A teacher's course that is exceptionally good, is offered these seeking that field. Spanish, German, and Latin appear as a part of the regular program- me, instead of a single course in Foreign Language. The combina- tions possible in a classical course are exceedingly numerous. Nor are our efforts confined to even these fields. Calisthenics for girls and military drill for boys are a regular part of our every day life. The orchestra is one of the institutions we could not do without. We could go onand mention Glee Clubs, Wireless and such organizations. These are all a part of the many good things that may be attributed to the Board of Education. In token of our appreciation of these many things we take space for this short note of thanks. Recently Dr. B. B. Sells and Mr. R. G. Swan were elected to succeed Mr. Wilson and Mr. Chappell. Since they are exceptionally progressive men, we are assured of even further advances to come. L l.
