History liooltkeeping i i I School Progress T is acknowledged that institutions like individuals can not merely mark time: they must either progress or retrograde. There are many evidences of progress about which we wish to speak. Vthether these are beginnings of definite and continued progress or but spurts must be left to future years to determine. just to start things is no evidence of progress. The biggest adventure it seems to me, is the preparation each week of a page in the local paper. This work is done by a selected group called the Canoe Staff . This group is held responsible for the work during the entire school year and thus far this year has done splendid work without the usual promptings oftentimes required of student organizations. This same group is also putting out the 'fC'anoe as the annual number. Another organization that has earned a place in the city is the youthful but capable orchestra. This organization, starting a few years ago as a group of private pupils of Mr. F. li. Staley, continues under his leadership but now sponsored by school authorities, enrolls some twenty-five young people. This organization in connection with the Cilee Clubs touches the finer side of our boys and girls. The orchestra should have the continued support of school authorities. That the public appreciates this organization is evidenced by the calls that the older members of the group get to dispense music for various occasions both at home and abroad. A Growing out of the orchestra is our band of some twenty pieces. This organization is just aborning. The local Rotary Club by financial aid made it possible to secure the added instrumentation necessary to create the band. This band will be helpful in increasing school spirit and furnish opportunity for ffvllllfl-7llll'll on lxlltfl' Tll'f'fl'l'Q Page Ten

These musicians will fit into our college bands and will become the personnel at a later date as they are needed, of our city band. That these organizations constitute the larger part of school work might be gleamed from this article did we not call your attention to the fact that we have been unqualihedly retained on the accredited list of secondary schools maintained by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This means that our certificate of graduation is accepted as full admission require- ment of all the colleges of the North Central Association. Upon thorough ex- amination by our own State Department of Education last December our high school was given a rating of Class A-First Grade-the highest possible rating to be granted. This rating is attended by but one requirement-that our high school stall of teachers be increased by one more teacher. VVe are indeed hopeful that the Board of Education will see that we may qualify next September for this high rating. The most hopeful sign of progress is shown in the attitude of the boys and girls toward school work. The percentage of failures has been reduced to a very small item. No little part of this decrease in the number of failures is dependent upon the close co- operation existing between the home and school. There have been but few that have dropped entirely out of school since it started last September: out of a high school population of 157 last September three have gone to other schools, their parents having moved away, and but three have dropped from school altogether. VVe are pleased with this record. SUPT. C. C. SMITH. Page Twelve
