Some may not agree with me but I thmk it has been one of the most successful years the J. C. H. S. has seen, 'Ilhere are few spectacular achievements one could point to in proof of this statement. One must look below the surface to judge impartially. We have had many trials and considerable testing in 1928-29. In many respects it has been a hard year for both faculty and students. As the months and the years roll around our thoughts will occasionally revert to the flu epidemic, the blizzards, the disheartening athletic situation and our rather futile efforts to win recognition in debate and other academic contests. It seemed as if unusual difficulties faced nearly every school project attempted. For this reason we should not be successful if judged by public appearances or the number of victories. I believe we have met these problems squarely and that we are the better for it. We are still carrying on and trying harder than ever bfore, Our enthusiasm has not been dulledg our faith is unimpaired. In spite of handicaps we can point with pride to some notable progress made the past year. Surely, we have not failed. The past year has not been without its redeeming features. This Wyomalo speaks a good volume for itself. Our football team made a tremendous effort last fall though the odds were against them. The band and orchestra concert this spring sur- passed anything of the kind before attempted, the junior and senior plays were well done, and the freshmen debates this spring indicated a renewed activity in this field. There is much promise in the future. Our freshmen are showing interest and ability in all school activities, and should be able to shoulder many responsibilities next year. Next year's freshmen will also contain some good high school material. It seems likely that we will have a new gymnasium and assembly hall next year. That would open up a host of new opportunities and stimulate the interest of everyone in the J. C. H. S. W. A. CHITTICK. THE COLLEGE PREPARATORY OR GENERAL COURSES FOR the past few years so-called vocational courses have been emphasized in the J. C. H. S. But one should not get the idea that the older and better established subjects are being neglected. We believe that all courses offered in this school are in some degree vocational or practical. It may be that the skill and knowledge ac- quired in the Agricultural and Normal Training courses, for instance, is more directly applicable to farming and teaching than would the training received in Latin or Chem- istry to any vocation or profession. Nevertheless, the latter courses, if successfully completed, would be a great hclp to most any person in everyday experiences. English, Social Science, Mathematics, Language and Natural Science courses are taken by two classes of students: those who wish to prepare for college entrance, and those who elect or are required to take them for their general information content and the training they afford. lt has always been the aim of the J. C. H. S. to offer a good college preparatory course and to keep up the standard of the work so that students leaving this high school could be certain of being admitted to most colleges and uni- versities without examination and to carry their college work successfully after they were in. Of course, the J. C. H. S. has been ranked as a first class high school by the state department for many years. It has been on the accredited list of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools continuously since 1918. How- ever, the best recommendation is the fact that our graduates are generally making fine records in different colleges. ' Four years of English, two years of Latin, two years of Spanish and three years of Mathematics are among the regular offerings at the J. C. H. S. Four years of social science work can be taken by our students if they desire it and every graduate must complete American History. A high school education is not complete without some study of natural science and the scientific method. A year's work each in Biology and Chemistry is open to every student. FOURTEEN
