ADMINISTRATION ADJUSTS SCHOOL FOR TI-IE FUTURE To Principal H. J. Phelps has come, again this year, the task of adjusting Norris City Township High School to the many changes brought about 'by the war. With changes in the faculty, and with stu- dents leaving to join the armed forces, the job has not 'been an easy one. During these times of economic and social dislocation, instruc- tional programs must 'be maintained. In' spite of difficulties which seemed insurmountable, Mr. Phelps has entirely maintained the effi- ciency of our school. He has been assisted in his efforts by a 'capable faculty. Back of Mr. Phelps stands the Board of Education, which is re- sponsible for the excellent school system which we now lhave. Mr. I. E. Turner, a mortician, is president of the Board of Educationg Mr. Elmo Hill, a clerk, is secretaryg members are Mr. Fred Carroll, a restaurant owner, Mr. L. H. Bayley, a farmerg and Mr. Dan Morehead, a miller. These men represent a cross-section of the citizens of the community around Norris City. They have given freely of their time and efforts to maintain an efficient school. In war or in peace, we all owe a great debt to our Board of Education and to our principal. Great steps have been taken this year toward the perfection of the guidance program which was installe-d in this school last year. At the beginning of the school year, each student was individually regis- tered by his or her class sponsor for -courses which were especially suited to the student's aptitudes and a'bilities. A complete record of ea-ch student is kept in the office. This record includes the student's family history, hobbies and special interests, attendance record, and a complete record of all grades made by the student. Norris 'City Town- slhip High School has one of the best guidance programs in southern Illinois. N. C. T. H. S. also has an excellent health program, which is the result of weeks of work by Mr. Phelps and his assistants. Every year, each student is given a complete physical examination, a record of which is kept on his or her individual medical 'card in the office. The record also includes a medical history of the student an-d of the stu- dent's family. These records are invaluable to our physical education department in determining the abilities of each student. Norris City Township High School is accredited 'by the State Super- intendent of Public Instruction and by the University of Illinois, and is a member of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges.
