' xmas? ,czmzzm sazmz mf, MILING faces eargerly await Mr. Ahlberg's cheery Good morn- ing! NVithin a few more minutes these students will be starting to classes, each one with different interests .some taking a com- mercial course, and others interested in preparing for college. All are subject to the same plan of supervised study under which time is given for assigmnents to be completed in the class room. Since most of the work may be done under the supervision of the teacher, there are no regular home work assigmnents. Individuality and independence are strongly stressed, and the student is given a chance to show originality in making projects and doing extra credit work such as additional problems or exercises or more collateral reading than is required during class hours. The system of a decentralized library, whereby the library books are placed in the various class rooms according to subject matter, has fitted in very successfully with the supervised study system. Under this plan there is appropriate and profitable material at hand to occupy the student who works faster than his classmates. Once a week during the school day a twenty minute period is set aside when the students meet in groups with their guidance counselors for helpful discussion of problems that face the high school student. In gen-eral these discussions help the students to obtain a greater knowledge of, and be better prepared to choose wisely, the profession. vocation, or college which they will enter later. There are also discus- sions of how to make necessary adjustments, both scholastic and social. in high school. Mr. Arthur, guidance chairman, keeps on file personality and scholastic records of every student in high school which may he used by the guidance counsellors. Those who bring the most to high school undoubtedly 'Sget the mostw from their four years here, but it is the ideal of li. IS. ll. S. that every boy or girl who enters here be led to a realization of his po- tentialities. In this school day the students will meet with joys and, no doubt. disappointments but will return again to-morrow smiling and eager to start another day.
