To the superintendent and his assistant falls the overall planning for the entire district— composing a senior high schtxil, a junior high school and ten elementary schools. The principal of the high school is charged with the general policy-making of the school and with the inter- pretation of the school to the public. The deans serve the dual role of guidance counsellors and disciplinary officers. The registrar must make rosters for every student, assign pupils to classes and send credentials to colleges. The director of tests and measurements is in full charge of a comprehensive testing program. The director of attendance issues excuses for absence and pre- pares absence and tardiness reports for the school and state. 16

HISTORY Correlating courses in history, economics and current events, the history department, under Mr. Billingslea, offers a diversified program for UD's social'Studies students. The subjects offered, which vary with curriculum and grade, include the following: general history, for commercial and arts-and-crafts sophomores; modern European history, for college-preparatory sophomores; American history, for all juniors, and economics and problems of democracy, for col lege prepara' tory seniors. American history, because it is re- quired for all eleventh graders, boasts the greatest enrollment. Working hand-in-hand with the history department, the World Affairs Forum provides an outlet for current-evcnt-mindcd history' students. The club translates both class- room learning and other information into debates and skits which it sponsors in conjunction with similar outside organizations. This year, for example, a group of almost 40 UD history stu- dents. under the auspices of the WAF, repre- sented Egypt in the Civic Forum Leagues mock United Nations session at Temple university.
