On March 29 many capable Seniors took over classes throughout the school, while others carried out the duties of adminis- trative offices. The day was opened with an as- sembly where the new student ad- ministrators were introduced and a presentation of corsoges and bou- tonnieres was made to the real faculty. The Senior teachers were recognized and classes began. Excellent preparation had been made by all participating Seniors and classes were conducted pro- fessionally. Some students showed a knack for teaching and became interested in the field. Because of the success of this project it is to be carried on in the future.
