VETERANS' SCHOCDL We are justly proud of the Parker Veterans' School, one of the three now in operation in Chicago. Though con- nected with the high school, veterans' classes meet in rooms lll, ll3, ll7, and ll9 in the Wilson College building. This plan was adopted so that the stu- dents, who range in age from late teens to early forties, will be with the more mature college students. The purpose of this training program is to prepare returning service men for the various fields they may wish to enter. The school is open to both men and women, though none of the latter are enrolled at present. Most of the students are taking re- fresher courses with a view to enter- ing a college or university. For the most part, the students have surprised their instructors bytheir will- ingness and determination. They all seem to have a definite purpose and they also seem to realize that only through earnest study can they make up for the time lost during the years of war. We are also proud that our own Mr. Warren A. Koerner, former industrial arts instructor, is the teacher in charge 14 of the program. The school has also claimed Miss Dorothy Dix, social sci- ence teacher, Mrs. Pearl T. Smith of the English department, former sponsor of the Iunior Honor Society, and Mr. Paul Enrietto, science teacher, recently dis- charged from the service. The Veterans' School was started on October 5, 1945, with an enrollment of ten. On March 21, 1946, the faculty numbered twenty-two, and total stu- dent enrollment to date, 550. And out of that number, Mr. Koerner states proudly, Seventy-five percent have entered our big mid-western colleges and universities. ' A word or two should be said about the classrooms. They are nothing short of Utopia and though they may lack Bing, Bob, and Dottie, they lack little else! Besides the usual tables and chairs, there are armchairs and sofas for the students' comfort while study- ing. Fireplaces also adorn the rooms. All the comforts of home! All these things prove that we want to help our homecoming G.I.'s in every possible way. The Veterans' Schools are just one of the ways in which we can earnestly say, Thanks, pal, you did a swell job!
