Attendance Officers: John Godleslcy (chief), Floyd Baumgartner, John W. Brooks, and Oscar Anderson. Attendance Department Through the work of the Attendance Department, our pattern begins to take a definite shape. We learn the value of punctuality and compliance with rules, the importance of regular attendance and a complete high school education. If we must be absent for an extended period, we are kept informed about homework assign- ments; tutoring is arranged if necessary. The precepts of this department teach us that consistency of effort benefits the pupil, class, institution, and society.

The study of great literature opens new directions. Reading provides cultural enrichment and contributes to our understanding of all subjects. Our command of Eng- lish is improved through vocabulary building and writing. Public speaking betters oral interpretation: journalistic training is put to practical use by working on the school publications. The segments of our design are joined through the forms of communication we master in English.
