Our school helps us to get rid “Do I stand up and shake hands when I am introduced? “How do I get to dance with a girl who won’t even look at me? Problems— problems and more problems for the sensitive adolescent. How to get along with people and how to make the best of social opportunities in school cause more emotional frustrations among stu- dents than their academic school work. How- ever, in many classes as an outgrowth of his regular studies, the student is laced with actual life situations, and by discussion and analysis finds out how to become more confident of him- self. Also, during the year, bulletin boards in various rooms are jammed with pictures and sketches which depict the plight of the adolescent who just doesn’t know what is the right thing to do. Learning proper etiquette, good manners, and the little things which make life more pleasant enable students to maintain good emotional equilibrium and make life much happier, freeing them from worry and fear. 0 Practicing the rules for being a gentleman, S.

overcome little anxieties • • • school we learn how to try to do our best honestly and to avoid comparisons with those who may make out a little better than we. In learning to attack little anxieties, whether they concern the term report, tomorrow’s home- work, money for Saturday’s date, proper eti- quette at a tea-social, library research, relations with teachers, attendance at extra-curricular meetings, or dressing properly, students in every class every day are becoming more adept in put- ting things in their proper places, and not re- garding every little thing in life of major impor- tance worthy of being worried about. In other words, our school is helping us to mature wisely. Counting money collected Jor I he Weljare Drive are J. Jarvis, B. Miller, J. Hughes, B. Vinceni, K. Blanchard, T. Snyder, and L.
