m ■ . Advisory Period THE Advisory Period, a new feature of the school program this year, was introduced in order to provide an opportunity for the dilTercnt organizations to hold meetings and in order to have a time for assemblies and pep meetings. During this thirty minute period, the business affairs of the classes are attended to and committee meetings are held. The seniors meet in the girls ' studv hall under the sponsorship of Miss Snyder, Mr. DeCroes, and Mr. Whitmer. Most of the juniors meet in the boys ' study hall, with Miss Rosenberger, Mr. Dahl, and Mr. Hatcher as sponsors. Because there are too many juniors to be seated in that room, a few meet with Miss Cravens. The sophomores and freshmen meet in small groups, with the other teachers. Many interesting assemblies, featuring musicians and lecturers, were held during the year. A committee headed by Mr. Gardner was successful in planning many pep meetings. The band played at most of these. Noon Hour For the purpose of reducing congestion in the halls and providing adequate opportuni- ties for visiting and entertainment during the noon recess, the noon hour program has been installed. Although this new system compels the students to be in either the study halls, auditorium, gymnasium, or the several class rooms, the majority have cooperated willingly with the wishes of Mr. Kern. Both of the study halls are used as visiting places. Seniors and juniors are required to be in the boys ' study while the sophomores and freshmen are in the girls ' studv. Moving pictures and slides are shown under the direction of Mr. Dahl. The science department has also cooperated by installing a radio in the auditorium. These entertain- ments are held three times a week. Interclass contests in volleyball, basketball and baseball are played during the noon hour with Mr. Steele, chairman. Miss Talbott, Mr. Hatcher, Miss Moist, Miss Perkins, Mr. Needier and Mr. DeCroes in charge of activities. Several classrooms are available to those students who wish to study. With the coopera- tion of teachers and students the new program has been a success. Detention Room As a help to student needs, Mr. Kern has introduced the detention period. Its purpose was originally to provide a place to make up work, but later it became also a place for tardy students and those guilty of disorderly conduct. It has been held daily in the boys ' study hall from three fifty to four twenty o ' clock. The Courses A vast difference is to be seen between the courses offered in 1931 and those available in 1887, for the students now have a wide variety from which to choose. Through the efforts of the Board of Education, the College Preparatory, Commercial, General. Trade, and Pre-Engineering courses have been offered to high school students. Subjects ranging from advanced courses in English, music, and Latin, to science, mathe- matics, and history offer splendid opportunities to those preparing for college, while the value of the Commercial Course to the entire school can scarcely be estimated. It is the aim of the department to train for efficiency in work, and also to create a business attitude in the students. The Vocational Department offers training to two classes of students: those who wish to enter engineering colleges and those who wish to learn a definite trade. Both courses are so taught in connection with the academic subjects that full credit is given for gradu- ation and entrance into college. Many students who intend to study nursing prefer the General Course. It does not prepare one for a definite profession, but merely gives a general high school education. f , . . ..... [19]
