eg 3 PRINCIPAL HARVEY M. ROSA THE VALUE OF DRAMATICS IN HIGH SCHOOL Jus+ why Dramalics in High School? A generalion ago lhere were few people in high school who were noi definilely planning fo enler college. Dramalics, as such, in lhe minds of lhe men who were responsible for college enlrance slandards, had noi apparenl value as prep- arafion for college. Those men were concerned only wilh lhe candida're's knowledge ol concrele facls. As The high school enrollmenls increased, due Io changing modern indusirial and economic condilions, a lesser propor- lion of graduafes planned fo enler college. Il became neces- sary, lherelore. lo lhinlr of lhese high school graduales largely as fufure cifizens of Their communify and noi as po- leniial candidales for college degrees. Since only a small number oi Ihe qraduales of high schools conlinue in college, if becomes of vilal consequence Ihal' during lhese four years every efforl' be pu? forlh lo discover lhe polenlial possibilifies of lhese young people. If is, lherefore, our definile obligalion To prepare Ihem. as com- plelely as 'rhe fime spenf in high school will permif, Io become useful cilizens of lheir communify. Dramafics offers a wonderful opporluniiy for 'rhe develop- menl of Ihal human qualify which we have seen Iii' 'Io classify as personalify. No ofher subiecl' which Ihese young people may choose offers The same advaniages for Ihe developmenl of poise, ease and grace in meeling people, and fhe ability io carry on a fluenl and enlerlaining conversalion-all of which go info ihe make-up of personalily. Whefher a young person is evenlually lo become a parl' of an induslrial con- cern, lo manage a beauiy parlor, fo lill a posifion in some office, or lo be lhe proud 'falher or rnofher in a happy home, lhese qualifies are imporianl for his success. Thus, we have Dramafics in high school. -H. M. Rosa. I 1
