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.

ALFRED AND HIS SKIIS HE wind was hlowing the soft snow into small hanks covering the tracks in the road which a hoy had just made with his skiis when going to school at six o'clock in the morning. It had heen snowing for three days hut the hoy's face did not show any trace of sorrow that he could not get to school on account of the had roads, He knew that if the weather were not too cold he could get to school since he had his skiis.

Alfred had meant to ask the hoys and girls to come to his house to slide and skii on the long steep hill near his home. When he heard what Williaiii said he asked them to come to his house with their skiis and sleds or tohoggans at eight olclock on Saturday morning. The rest of that hour was spent in talking of how many sleds they were to bring and where each one could procure a pair of skiis. Friday afternoon at the close of school, the boys were all eager to get home to pref pare their skiis and sleds. But Alfred too was thinking of the good time ahead when he shouted to the hoys: Be sure, boys, to lwring your skiis and sledsf' The day dawned hright and clear. At eight o'clock Saturday morning the lwoys were at the farm. Alfred 'had made some bumps near the foot of the hill, over which they could ski. Some of the hoys could halance themselves on going over the bumps the first time hut some of the girls and even the hoys would lose a skii and would see it
