Eighteen FACULTY ADMINISTRATION OUR ATTENTION has recently been called to the importance of two educational principles: guid- ance of pupils and co-ordination and integration of subjects. The student entering high schoul finds himself in a maze of diverse courses, subjects, and activities. In this situation the average student is lost without intelligent and considerate guid- ance. The major problem of the , „ , ,, . . , Administration is to set up an organi- DavKl Burcham, Principal zation which will enable each course and activity to function one hundred percent and to coordinate these forms of training so tha t each shall contribute its full share to the wiell-rounded development of the individual pupil. — David Burcham THE FIRST consideration of the office this year has been to become acquainted with the boys of the school. This has not been difficult because of our having known many of them in the junior high schools. Plans for the development of recreational and social events which mil be enjoyed by all students have also re- ceived considerable attention. Close cooperation of the faculty, student commission, and the Boys ' League has made possible a most satisfactory beginning of the second and larger aim, to prepare our students for the wiser use of increased leisure time which has been so freely predicted for them in the future. — J. C. Peniwell NEW TO Poly High, the Dean of Girls has spent the year in getting acquainted and in establishing a friendly relationship between herself and the girls that she might be of the greatest possible service to them. She has been interested in helping girls make adjustments, in encouraging more to participate in activities so that they would feel themselves a part of the school, and thereby, would relieve leaders of an overload of responsibility. Students have found a welcome in her office, and the idea of progress has been the keynote in all interviews and in each activity program. — Evelyn Lofland .Tames O. Peniwell, Vice-Principal
