Sandwich High School - Reflector Yearbook (Sandwich, IL)

The consideration of a high school in which your boy or girl shall pursue further study is all important just now. It is with a sincere desire to be of service that we are setting forth some of the advantages of the Sandwich Tosvnship High School. The Board of Education and school officials have defined the aim and purpose of our educational program as follows: First, to set up a situation in which the student shall be encouraged to build right habits which shall crystallize into Christian character; second, to challenge the interest of the student by a course of study which shall lay the foundation for a broader technical and cultural education; finally, to provide a field of exploration for some of the useful pursuits of life, and to awaken ideas and form attitudes of civic consciousness and responsibilities in these pursuits. Our entire resources are devoted each year in an honest effort at a fuller realization of the above mentioned aims. The personality factor is always a vital one. A Faculty consisting of fifteen teachers is concerned with the training of our high school boys and girls. These teachers are qualified by training and experience to assist the student to realize the highest achievement of which he is capable. Our teacher-pupil ratio is on the average of i to 18, thus assuring a much needed individualization of instruction. Our school is identified with the North Central Association, by virtue of the fact that all instructors have been awarded Degrees, certifying to four years of college or university work. We are also fully accredited with the University of Illinois, smaller colleges of the state, and colleges of the same grade in other states. This means that our students may enter these institutions on the basis of our Certificate of Graduation, (an entrance is waived). A careful perusal of the pages of this book will, we believe, convince you that on the basis of building and other physical equipment our high school ranks with the best secondary schools in the State of Illinois. This is a splendid tribute to the good judgment and vision of the people of our township. Space will not permit a comprehensive exposition of the course of study. Is your son interested in the scientific aspect of farming? His interest will be challenged and held by our Smith-Hughes Agriculture program, in the hands of a competent instructor. The girls are taught the useful home arts work in our Domestic Science Courses. Our vocational courses also include shop-work (woodwork and metal work) for the boys. Our commercial course, consisting of bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting, serves an increasingly larger enrollment each year. Physical training instructors for boys and girls work with a full time school nurse, to care for the physical well-being and health of our students. Our academic courses, aside from providing a cultural value, equip the student with a pre-requisite basis for training in business or the professions. The door of opportunity is open to your boys and girls who believe that their lives may be made more useful and profitable through the medium of a high school education. May we not serve you?
