f-543 I Ev THE RECORD II GENERAL INFORMATION HERE are two courses offered at King' field High School: College Preparatory and English. The College Preparatory course Hts for the collegiate or scientific departments of any college, if the electives are properly chosen. It gives an allfround academic education. The English course fits for the scientihc departments of colleges and state normal schools. CI-IOICE OF COURSES ' THE selection of, a course of study is an extremely important matter and should be made only after careful consideration. Parents and pupils should always talk the matter over together and the advice of teach' ers and other interested friends may be help' ful. It is a mistake to choose a course be' cause it is easier than another or because some classmate has chosen it. The first factor in the selection of a course of study should be the desire for a sound cultural education. Second, the course should be suited as far as possible to the pu' pils special aptitudes. Third, any definite plans for further education or occupation after leaving the high school will aid in makf ing the right selection. REQUIREMENTS EOR GRADUATION IN order to be eligible for graduation a pupil must have obtained a minimum of 80 points in one course. One point is obtained when a year's work in a prepared study of one period a week is completed with a rank of at least 75. Studies which require no preparation outside the classroom will re' ceive one half the credit for prepared work. Promotion to the upper classes will be made only when points have been earned as follows: Sophomore class, 15g Junior class, 35g Senior class, 55. At the end of the year the names of the members of each class will be posted. GENERAL REGULATIONS SCHOOL opens at 8:00.

Pupils en' tering the upper classes will receive credit for work of the same grade done in other schools. A H The school is on the approved list of the New England College Entrance Board. Pupils who wish to enter a college that ac' cepts a certificate in lieu of an examination, and whose average for the full course is not less than eighty, may apply to the principal in those subjects in which his average is eightyfive or above. No pupil may take work earning over twentyffive points in one year, unless his average rank for the previous is eighty-five or above, except with the written consent of his parent and the approval of the prinf cipal. Every pupil must take work earning at least fifteen points. Changes in courses must be made at the beginning of the school year. No new study may be elected later than the second week of the Fall term. If a course is given for a full year, no credit will be allowed if taken for a shorter time.
