ADMINISTRATICN Most people think that the students are the most im- portant factors in a school. These people are mistaken, for the faculty holds that position. Without a good and patient faculty it is impossible to have good students and a good all-round school. The faculty of Virginia High School, in addition to teaching academic subjects, instructs in various Helds, in- cluding manual arts, fine arts, business courses, music, speech, drama, home economics, physical education, driv- ing, diversified occupations, and guidance. Most impor- tant of all they help build the solid citizens of tomorrow. There are certain fundamental subjects that go into making up a good high school curriculum.
