SPECIAL CLASSES-Continued Jack Bryan was awarded the efficiency medal for Tech. High at the last government inspection. Company C has won parade line three times in succession. Many Special Class boys are in this group. Mose Thyfault is captain of the company. Edward Martin realizes quite a nice income from the sale of his com- mercial drawings. Walter Herrin has established a flourishing business in the way of a florist shop. Edward Vencil is the youngest aviator in Texas. George De Marcus studies four hours each afternoon in a Greek school. , Willard Weaver is ex-president of a harmonica club at Travis School. Charles Greeves is starting a pigeon business at Lisbon. He is spe- cializing on Homers. He won third prize on his pigeons at the last Fair. Joe Sanders was asked to play the harmoncia at the Adolphus on one of their dinner programs. Two ex-special boys have just completed a course in Commercial Art in New York and are now designing for two wholesale houses in Dallas. Another ex-special boy has been given a good position in the auditing department of the Western Union. Two girls in Mrs. Bryan's History class have organized a History Club which meets once a week. At each meeting we study the lives of two girls who became famous in American History, then have an interesting program. Louise Smithermon was elected president, Mattie Louise Green, vice-president, May Jeanette Woodward, secretary, Gladys Lobb, treas- urer, and,Fae Bell and Gladys Mabry are the program committee. Some of the pupils whose report cards carried home too many red grades at the end of the first six weeks have adopted this resolution: Early to bed and early to rise. Work like smoke and watch our grades. Rise, rise, rise. One of our mottoes: The elevator to Success is not runningg take the stairway. E281

SPECIAL CLASSES The Special Classes of Technical High School are made up of boys and girls who have dropped out of school on account of work or illness, or who have gone to school in small towns. We have grown from three classes to six this year and almost doubled in number since the first term. There are no grades, but the work is so divided that no pupil need be held back if he can do the advanced work. A number of our students from the first term are taking part high school work while doing special class work. The boys enter Military, pottery classes, and shop work. The girls enter classes in Foods and Clothing, pottery, gym, and music. T We are especially proud of this work because Mr. Cauthorn found on his trip East this year that no other city in the U. S. is doing this 'kind of work. AN ACROSTIC What has made my term's work worth while?

' BLOWING OUR HORN A careful check on the marks given by the high school department to these special pupils who were partially promoted shows that out of 52 marks only six were below passing the first semester. Josephine Goodman, a January graduate, made an average of 89.5 per cent. on her work in IB the first semester. A little over five per cent. of our boys and 20 per cent. of our girls are partially supporting themselves by part-time work. Earl Canada received 335.00 from the P.-T. A. for turning in the largest sum of money from the sale of picture show tickets. E271
