Their uidance Mold Character Miss Pope A wise counselor and an under- standing friend is our Miss lfthel Pope, dean of girls. As chairman of the counseling and student per- sonnel division, matters concerning attendance irregularities and class room guidance are given her special attention. X5C'e owe a great deal to her foresight in establishing two very active student organizations. the Girls' League and the vveeklv paper, The Breeze. Never too busy to give aid to some deserving stu- dent, Miss Pope has helped many to find themselves in high school and their place in the future. Mr. Wilson The responsibility for student transportation, the smooth opera- tion of our Board of Control, and other student affairs falls on the shoulders of Mr. Wlilliam Wil- son, our assistant district superin- tendent, vice principal. and dean of boys. Many fine programs and dances were presented this year with his assistance. In his capacity as Dean of Boys some of us have been sent to him for discipline but more have gone to him to get ad- vice on some student problem. Re- turning servicemen and other alum- ni visiting the school seek out Prof,'i as we fondly call him, to pass the time of day and to learn of mutual friends and classmates. To him all of us students are part of a big family. f ., ,ff - . N 4 X, 49 I I. 4 -. if , 0 ! If . 4 sv- X f

Our Needs After Graduation Considered The establishing of our graduation requirements and approving of the petitions of prospective grad- uates are a few of the many duties of our Adminis- trative Council. This group, meeting weekly, acts as a clearing house for all internal school policies. Mat- ters concerning the opening and closing of school, registration, examinations and others of this nature are acted upon by this representative organization. Graduation requirements adopted in june, 19-44, by this group have been continued through the year. To graduate, we must have met the following re- quirements: we must have earned 200 units of work' taken courses required by law, had suitable instruc- tion on manners and morals, fire prevention, public safety and accident prevention, made at least 120 units with grade C or betterg 45 units earned in the senior year, 30 units of which are C or betterg or a grand total of 130 units of C or better in the four years of high school work. When graduation requirements were adopted, sev- eral years were given to put them completely into operation. With next years graduation class, the ful- fillment of a major earned in one field will be re- quired. Subjects taken in the four years of high school will follow a pattern, rather than be a hodgepodge of various courses.
