Administration THE ADMINISTRATION in the Syca- more High School attempts to secure, with the least friction, the best ultimate good of the school. This includes record- ing, filing, recognition of excuses, keeping attendance records, as well as locker as- signmentsg correcting students who vio- late class regulationg writing ever increas- ing detailed reports for the State, our State University and North Central Asso- ciation filesg the preparation of contracts and eligibility listsg issuing certificates of credit and recommendations for Alumni and teachersg altering the course of study and adapting texts to changing methods and neighborhood needs: Then must be included the regulation of twelve extra- curricular organizations so ably sponsored by the faculty members. Much of all this is facilitated by the excellent clerical work of Mrs. Ella Townsend. On the faculty we have fourteen full time and five part time teachersg the lat- ter includes Superintendent Lease, Miss Miner, Miss Wollensak, Coach Shrout, and Miss Amrine. Of this faculty eight hold the degree of Bachelor of Artsg five are Bachelors of Scienceg one hold the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, and two have Masters' degrees. We have added Public Speaking and Commercial Law to oiu' course of study, while pressure grows stronger each semester for a third year in Art. The High School has enrolled three hundred and forty-seven students this year. Of these there are one hundred and twenty-nine freshmen including sixty- three boys and sixty-seven girlsg eighty- four sophomores-forty-two boys and forty-two girlsg sixty-three juniors- twenty-three boys and forty girls and six- ty-seven seniors including thirty boys and thirty-seven girls. There were also two postgraduates and two special students en- rolled. Each class is organized and con- ducts its own activities through it officers and committees under the guidance of a teacher sponsor. This procedure applies also to all the other extra-curricular ac- tivities. In our school there are but few published rules to regulate conduct, but each is expected to contribute his part in 'w . -. his own way to the good name of the school. The few regulations laid down di- rect an orderly and courteous conduct in the class rooms and assembly. Lock-step methods are discouraged, and the hum of industry is welcome, We have sixty-minute periods. This is the resourceful teacher's great opportun- ityg for a class period of this length gives time for more pupil participationg it pro- vides a chance for clarifying difiicult ad- vance assignments and for debate, drill and pupil reports. Moreover, the period includes twenty minutes of study in which a serious minded student can profit by be- ing in the presence of his instructor. This long class period has seemed to help fos- ter an exceptionally fine relationship be- tween teacher and pupil and so is partly responsible for the spirit of friendly co- operation and courtesy which our state inspector pronounced quite ideal . The Alumni of the last few years will be interested to know of some of the teachers: Former Supt. O. E. Peterson is now head of the department of Education in Teachers College, DeKalb, Illinois. Miss Lucille Harrison is instructor in the Teachers College at Greeley, Colo.g Miss Ruth Stegner, now Mrs. Hope Horman, is mother of a charming daughter, Patriciag Miss Gertrude Zimmerman, now Mrs. Joyce Lehmann has a son John David, soon ready for Kindergarten. Both fam- ilies reside in Naperville. Miss Cordelia Olmstead is teaching in the Chicago sys- tem: Miss Anna Potter has been winter- ing in California after giving some years to the rearing of her brothers baby daugh- terg Miss Helen Zimmerman, now Mrs. Raymond Veh, resides in Cleveland: Miss Helen Wiedey has been in charge of the organization of educational work in the St. Louis Y. W. C. A.g Miss Doris Brigham is teaching in Berkely, Michigang Miss Abba Harrington resigned to care for her invalid mother. We believe that among one of these names will bring to mind happy incidents as well as moments of inspiration to our Alumni.
