SUMMER SCHOOL GRADUATES IVERS MCDONALD MAYER STINTZI WILLIAMS JERALDINE CATHRYN CARMEN LYNN PATRICIA ANN GERALD REA MARY LOU Summers Spent Doing Lessons High school students, like all other people, look for- ward to summer vacation and the various activities cen- tered around lakes, pools, and beaches. 'llhey impatiently wait for the last of school, and when the final gong sounds they scatter like seeds in the wind. Students go all summer without seeing more than a very few of the 1,500 class- mates they have been attending school with from nine to twelve years. Until this year all the schools have had midyear gradu- ating classes. 'I'he last Rogers january class left in 1953 and it is impossible for there to be another one until 1966. Since the discontinuation of the midsemester classes, the number of summer school graduates has increased, as is indicated by the pictures above. As a result there are more and more students whose va- cation doesn't start until the end of summer school in July. Maybe that rumor about school for twelve months a year isn't rumor after all. lly taking summer school courses two summers, or by taking five solids for three years in high school and ob- taining permission to take three summer school courses at a time, a student can graduate from a Spokane high school in three years. Many students take advantage of the summer school classes to make up credits lost by failing, to lessen the next semester's subject load, speed up graduation, resume an interrupted education, prepare for college, or as a re- fre: her business course. Summer classes will be held at Lewis and Clark High School from june 5 to july 22 this summer. Attendance is required six days a Week from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m. These hours make it possible for most students to work While they are attending the summer session. There is a small tuition fee for the maintenance of these classes. One subject is 310, two 315, three 582250. No book-rental fee is charged although students are charged for lost or damaged books, The summer months are usually a time of freedom from grades but the summer school students have two report cards to worry about. One comes out at the end of the first three weeks, the second at the end of the summer session. Courses offered this year will be: Senior composition, senior literature, vocabulary, general science, physics, chemistry, biology, typing, stenography, bookkeeping, busi- ness practice, clothing and clothing selection, home furnish- ing, home problems, social problems, VVashington history, world history, U. S. history, economics, sociology, psy- chology, general mathematics, algebra, geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, radio, printing, welding, machine shop, body and fender, auto mechanics, electricity, and drafting. Foreign languages will be available if there is sufficient demand. Heading the 1954 summer session will be Rogers' prin- cipal, J. L. 1'urcly. Teachers come from the three city high schools, so students get a chance to see how the other half lives. Although summer school classes take a good deal of time away from vacation, it is an interesting and profitable way to spend a summer. Further information pertaining to summer school is available in the office. 29
