Summer School The thirteenth summer session of the high school began June 18th and closed July 27th. The total enrollment was 131 of which 62 were boys and 69 were girls. Thirty-one of the students were freshmen, 48 sophomores, 44 juniors, 3 seniors, 1 special, and 4 already graduated from high school. Three received their diplomas at the end of the session. Four teachers of the regular high school faculty were retained for the summer session. Miss Ruth McCusker taught the courses in Eng- lish, assisted by Miss Margaret Gregson. The course in Ancient History was taught by W. L. Payne. John W. Payne who succeeds D. C. Bailey the .next regular year, taught the Medieval-Modern History course for- merly taught by Mr. Bailey in the summer session. J. F. Towell taught the courses in Mathematics. Miss Cecelia Listing had charge of the secretarial work of the session. The character of the student body in the modern summer school is quite similar to that of the regular school year. Twenty-three of the 131 students had been on the honor roll during the regular year. Twen- ty-seven were expecting to graduate in less than the customary four years. Ten -were meeting some of their college entrance requirements during the summer session so that they can make broader course elec- tions during the regular year. Seventeen declared that they were at- tending because they wanted something worthwhile to do during the first half of the long summer vacation. The following tabulation shows the enrollments by departments and the numbers who pursued advanced and review courses.

18 Lyons Township High School To accomplish anything worth while in this world it is necessary to work hard. If accurate and efficient work is done each day the work will become gradually easier be- cause the student will have a better understanding of what he is trying to accomplish. Above all he should not give up. No one ever accomplished his work by giving up in his efforts. Students, resolve right now that you will work harder than you have ever worked before. Say to yourselves, John and Mary seem to be getting along nicely and I can do the work if they can. Anyway, I'1l do my very best every day.
