C1 creditj. fUnless excused by a physician's certificatel. Two years of one language and two of another language may be substituted for three years of one language, if desired, in establishing a major. No credit will be granted in any subject for which prerequisites exist until such prerequisites have been satisfied. For instance, credit in sophomore English will not be given until freshman English is completed. One year of mechanical drawing may be included in establishing a major in mathematics, but is not acceptable as a minor. One-half year of arithmetic and one-half year of bookkeeping may be substi- tuted for one year of mathematics as a minor, but not in establishing a. major. Bookkeeping must be preceded by either arithmetic or algebra. Credit will not be granted in arithmetic after the completion of two years of mathematics. In mechanical arts, one year of woodwork is prerequisite for metal work. Plane geometry is prerequisite for the second year of mechanical drawing. A pupil is not expected to register for a subject without considerable thought. He should then give it a fair trial, and should not expect to drop it or change it without having a reason which outweighs the original argument in favor of taking it. No change in a student's program during the year is permitted with- out the sanction of his class advisor. The subjects included in the various courses of study offered have been selected with a view to serving the best interests of the student. A random, un- guided, or misguided choice of subjects is almost sure to seriously weaken the effectiveness of the pupil's high school course, viewed as a whole, and is very apt to lead to keen disappointment. To avoid such an outcome, each student is ex- pected to register in one of the courses of study offered and no departure from these courses as printed will be permitted without the sanction of both the class advisor and the subject teacher or teachers concerned. A request from parent or guardian may be required. Page 4 ggtm, . Q. L.,-,,...., 4 f. 3- gl .-,. :' 551
