GEORGE BROWN, Assistant Principal The advisor and guide of the young students of grade school. Dr. Brown also had the enormous task of allotting mon ey for supplies and books. of fifty-five minute periods, it was Principal J. W. Standley's suggestion to have six fifty-five minute periods rather than seven fifty minute periods. Five of the six periods were devoted to generally re- quired academic and special subjects while the sixth period was known as the home room period. Every Monday of the home room period was given over to guidance, and every student was required to be present. The other days of the week were spent with club meetings, rehearsals, study, and various other activities in which students wished to parti- cipate. This new system found favor with both the teachers and students. The teachers appreciated it, for each teacher had his own room and was obliged to spend less after school time on extra-curricular activities. By the same token, the students favored the plan, for now they could hold jobs and still be able to participate in activities. With so many changes having taken place in such a short time, it was dilticult for students, faculty, and parents to recall that two short years ago they heard about a new system and saw blueprints for a new building-Tolleston's new building-dreams come true. f 'N-. if XX - --- S -, ui' XSN.
