New Feature A new feature was introduced into Wadsworth High School at the be- ginning of the second semester of the year i925-26. This was in the form of a new schedule, made up of six periods of sixty minutes each, three in the morning and three in the afternoon with one hour and a quarter at noon. Under the old schedule there were seven periods of forty minutes each-four in the morning and three in the afternoon with one hour and a half at noon. There are many good features about this new schedule. With periods an hour long, more can be accomplished in class where you have the help of teachers and students. The hour periods also make it possible for students taking subjects requiring laboratory work to get this all in one period, while the old schedule required two periods for this work. It has been proven this semester that the students can do the same amount of work in one period of laboratory as they formerly did in the two periods of forty minutes each. With the old schedule, students taking Chemistry or Physics, found it very difficult to take extra subjects because they had to save two periods for their laboratory work which they had only twice a week. From an economic standpoint this new schedule has helped the problem of home Economics and Manual Training a great deal. Under the old schedule both of these subjects required two periods and this limited the number of students who could take these subjects. Under the new schedule one period is sufficient to cover the lesson and consequently, the vocational teachers can handle twice the number of students they could before. The new schedule is so arranged that for one period each day all teachers are relieved of class duty. This is worked out by having the first period off on Monday, the second on Tuesday, the third on Wednesday, the fourth on Thursday, and the fifth and sixth on Friday. Under this arrangement nearly all school activities such as Glee Clubs, Class Plays, Orchestra, Debate, Chapel and all other activities with the exception of athletics can be taken care of during the off periods and no classes are interrupted. Those students whose grades are not up to standard must use the off period for study. From actual practice in Wadsworth High School this semester, the new schedule promises to be a success in every way. With a few new features everyone should be well satisfied, for students and teachers alike feel that it is an improvement over the old schedule. James Daykin American Legion Presents Two Cups for Inter-Class Basket Ball Trophies A Committee from the Local Post met with School Officials, Tuesday evening, Dec. l5, and formulated plans for the presentation of cups. It was agreed that the cups should be placed in the Home Rooms of the winning Classes of that year at the close of each tournament and remain there as a permanent trophy when won three times. For example, when Boys or Girls of three Senior Classes have won the Tournaments, the cup will remain in that room permanently and the Legion will present another cup. Twenty-fou r
