0. ,ic s. ,affepzi 5 ,um swims A five-hour day for students who were making passing grades re- placed the old six-hour schedule this year. The students who were passing in every subject were excused at 3:08 p.m., and a sixth hour was designed for the use of students who desired help and for those failing in some of their subjects. During the first weeks of school, the students received a taste of country school life, when Leroy Hood, principal, stood in the high school halls ringing a hand bell while L. A. Wilson, assistant principal, rang a battery-operated bell in junior high to announce the beginning and ending of classes. The regular bell system was damaged in the July flood and was not repaired until after school had started. The five new teachers who joined the faculty were William Barker, music instructor, Mrs. Shirley Hicks, home economicsg Miss Natalie Logan, English and speechg Jack Pringle, social science, and Mrs. Patricia Roy, foods. Only one new course, trigonometry, appeared in the curriculum, and it was taught by Miss Nora Evans. Q 1 it I f ' ' 1 V I F ,QQ 1 - r ' K' .- ss-e , l , cfs Burl S.
