Every Engineer graduated from Junior High School on the honor roll. This year, the Scholar of the New Plan III Class was a member of our de- partment. In spite of the fact that more than half of the Engineers work outside of school, 50 per cent of the Engineers were on the honor roll last semester. Six of the Engineers plan to continue their education. Robert Smith plans to study actuarial science. Virgil J ohnson is going to take up mining geology. J. C. Leslie and Allan Lay are going to take chemical engineering, with a major in petroleum refining. Kenneth BIv plans to take up metallurgical engineering. 22

A. were organized in the fall of 1932 for the purpose of providing some definite organization wherein Junior College III students might meet to discuss matters relative to their social, intellectual, and spiritual development. Miss Agnes Engel and Mr. Charles Burke act as advisors. The College III group does not participate in any of the regular exercises in athletics or in the societies ' functions, so the College Y plays an important part in its own special extra-curricular life. During the past year baseball, basketball, and football games were plaved between the Secretarial group and the Liberal Arts and Engineering groups, and a ping-pong tournament was held. Many worthwhile speakers were secured and a series of meetings on voca- tional careers was presented. The outstanding event of the year was a joint meeting with the College III girls ' Y, at which Bishop Spencer was the guest of honor and addressed the group so eloquently. The girls had several teas at which special speakers were presented. Pot-luck suppers were given, and many days of chats and talks were held. 21

NORTHEAST JUNIOR COLLEGE The Junior College course is a three-year course beginning in the Junior year of the high school. The course has three divisions: the Engineering, the Liberal Arts, and the Business Department. The Engineering course requires mathematics each year: college algebra, trigonometry, physics, engineering drawing, analytics, calculus, and surveying. Such other subjects as chemistry, English, machine drawing, descriptive geometry, materials, and analytical mechanics are included in the requirements. The Liberal Arts course offers the usual subjects given in the Freshman and Sophomore years of college, such as English, mathematics, science, social studies, and foreign languages. The Business Department is for those students who expect to follow a business career. This course includes at least twenty hours of academic college work. To satisfy the present demands, the course is divided into three divisions: Accounting, Clerical, and Secretarial. Students are permitted to major in any one of the three divisions or elect a general course. Upon graduation, they can command a position in six to ten different tvpes of work. This arrangement makes possible not only many chances for employment, but also greater oppor- tunity for advancement. The students are qualified for the specialized jobs of large corporations as well as for the general work of a small office. The class of 1938 is the sixth Junior College class to be graduated from this system. An approximate total of 428 have been graduated from this school (including the class of 1938); of those, 1 14 have entered college. Sixteen of the first year class graduated from Senior College with their bachelor ' s degree. These sixteen m ade unusual records at the schools they attended. Our graduation lists include three students who won highest honors at Kansas University; one, a Phi Beta Kappa at Missouri University, has received a scholarship at Heidelberg University in Germany for next year; one was admitted to the Junior class at Wellesley College and graduated at the regular time last June. Of those gradu- ating from the Business Department, 90 per cent have succeeded in getting jobs with representative firms in the city. Arrangements have been made with the various colleges belonging to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools that our recom- mended graduates will be admitted to their Junior classes. The institutions at- tended by our graduates thus far are the University of Missouri, L T niversity of Kansas, Northwestern University, University of Texas, and several colleges in the middle west. This Junior College has offered an unusual opportunity to the patrons of the Northeast High School for their children to obtain a junior college education at a comparatively low cost. 23 O S J l
