IEW' V nl. ,.,, 4. H' Si 3. 1 1. 'S 2 Il THE ACORN QQ TT O Annual Report of the Principal LTHOUG1-1 in industry this period from September 8, 1930, to June 2, 1931. has been a period of depression, in Oakwood High School it has been a school year marked by good health on the part of the boys and girls, with freedom from much sickness and serious ac- cidents. with our largest high school enrollment-552 as compared with 499 the preceding year- with a high attendance record of 94.5 per cent, and with industrious application and excellent achievement in the many curricular and extra-curricular pursuits of the school. We are all very proud of our graduating class, the eighth and the largest class to graduate from Oakwood in.the history of the school: and one of the best classes in school spirit, in right attitudes. and in Cooperation that we have ever had. An outstanding event in the history of the high school was the decision of the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Instruction to build a new junior high school. providing for the separation of the junior and senior high schools. The bond issue of 3360.000 for th: acquisition of land and for the construction and equipment of the new junior high school was carried in the November election by the vote of 1817 to 902. After the sale of bonds, drawing up of plans by the architects, and advertising for bids. construction work began in April. THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION Nine well-attended monthly meetings were held during the year and six evening dinners. The organization gave very active support to the school program. cooperated in bringing Superintendent Beatty of Bronxville, N. Y., for the March meeting of six hundred Oakwood School patrons, and awarded the scholarship and the athletic prizes for the year to the pupils. FOLLOW-UP OF GRADUATES Of the 205 graduates to date Cexclusive of the present graduating classj, 170, an unusual number. have taken advanced courses in colleges. technical schools. or finishing schools. Thirty- five have gone directly into industry or home-making. In this school year there were 105 attending 55 different colleges. There are 64 of these enrolled in Midwestern colleges, 32 in Eastern colleges, 7 in Southern colleges, 1 in a far-Western college, and 2 in foreign schools. Oakwood has graduates in both West Point and Annapolis. with its certificate recognized by them. HOME-ROOMS In order to inculcate virtue as well as knowledge, in order to give the necessary educational and vocational guidance that modern life demands. the plan of six-year adviserships for home- rooms. men for boys and women for girls, was instituted seven years ago. Some very close relationships have been developed as a result between our youth and teachers, that, judging from the frequent retum of our graduates to see their former advisers. bids fair to be lasting. The program of home-room activities this year under each adviser has included individual private conferences, follow-up of school work to secure good results and prevent failure, talks and discussions on proper conduct, attitudes, ideals, emphasis on honesty. courtesy, courage, self- control and direction, good humor and industry, study of current events and current life, and information regarding vocations and colleges. 1 5 N
