Their Classes Had With the opening of school on September l5, teachers and students started the project of cutting their records for l954. Juniors and seniors returned well-acquainted with the sys- tem at SBHSg sophomores trod our halls a bit more warily, but the informal atmosphere soon put them at ease. The task of training nearly l6OO students fell to our eighty teachers.

Students signed up for that di- vision which would best aid them in preparing for the vocation of their choice. The majority of students registered for the general division which stressed a good general education rather than training in some specific skill. The pre-professional or college preparatory division provided training arranged for the college-bound student with aspirations to a profession. The business and trade preparatory division gave training in specific skills within these areas while the practical and fine arts division provided training for those planning a career in such a field as music or art.
