J ohn Platt In its sophomore year the class of '29 was very successful in all its ac- tivities. Each boy and girl was eager to help make the term the success that it was for the class. Several of the boys helped Napa win her high honors in football this year. The class also produced many excellent basketball, baseball, and trackmen who will do much more for the school during the next two years. The girls, too,showed good spirit when they gained several positions on the girls Championship Basketball team. Also, in interclass sports, the girls made a good showing. They suc- ceeded in winning the volley ball championship. The boys developed some very good teams for the interclass sports. They took second place in the class C track meet, and it is expected that they will be successful in the liaselrall games, the regatta, and the annual swimming meet. Another thing which can't be forgottcn was the annual Sophomore Hop. The Dance was attended by a crowd as Large as any that has ever support- ed a school event of the sort. With good music and lots of confetti every- on-e had a merry time. The success of our social event was due to copper- ation on the students part and more so to the willing aid of Miss Rita Allegrini, who has been our efiicient and friendly advisor since our first davs in Napa High. fThirteen1

N A P A N E EE Merit Sqstem ' It is not possible to give you a better realization of the Merit System that is now in force in Napa High, than in quoting the following: There has been a rising tide of feeling among college authorities and business and financial organizations that high schools should keep account and furnish a record of a student's character, dependibility and citizenship as well as his scholarship. In fact, several of our leading universities now require such a rating on all applicants for admission, and business institu- tions are requesting such information in increasing numbers, It becomes both desireable and necessary therefore to keep such records in Napa Union High School. To do this in an intelligent manner the following Merit System has been adopted: The rating will be made on th-e semester basis, and a merit credit will 1 e given at the end of each semester. Each student will be given 100 merits at the ieginning of each semester. For lapses in citizenship, honor, relia- ' ility, ndorality, etc., merits will lie deducted from the 100 according to the offense as indicated in the schedule below: Loss OF MERITS ' i 1. Stealing-20 or more. 2. Forgery of an excuse-20 or more. 3. Cheating-20 or more 4. Lying-10 or more. 5. Cutting classes or Assembly-10 or more. 6. Unnecessary tardiness-5 or more. p 7. Unexcus-ed absence-5 or more. 8. Rudeness, disorderly, ungentlemanly or unladylike conduct-5 or more. 9. Wanton destruction or defacing of public property-5 or more. 10. Smoknig, gambling or had language about school-10 or mnre.

Students scoring an average of less than 70 will not be graduated. A record of merits will be kept by the Vice Principal and Dean of Girls, and will be rnade a part of the student's permanent recor-d.. The following committee will serve as a Court of Appeal: Vice Principal Dean of Girls Head of English Department All extreme cases will be delt with by the High School Principal. This system is the same one used in many of the other high schools throughout the state, three of them being Piedmont, Sonoma, and Santa Barbara. W frifceeyq
