' 19 THE 21 lllaukoqan Township High School Progress and the present status of work at Waukegan Township High School is best ex- pressed as, In Transition Stage. Reorganization looking toward relieving the congestion and providing for Vocational Education is being planned. In this transition stage conditions nat- urally are not ideal and it is only through the whole-hearted co-operation of Students, Faculty, Board of Education and the Community that satisfactory progress can be made this year. When the problem was first submitted to me last May there were the alternatives-barracks to cost ten thousand dollars, or an extended daily program of studies. The present building can accommodate comfortably only four hundred and fifty, it was obvious that a school of seven hundred could not be taken care of under the regular program of studies. Inasmuch as we were to have a new building within a year it seemed best to follow the plan of an extended daily program, if that could be worked out. The building of barracks to be used but a year seemed wasteful and uneconomical. The problem of the extended program plan was especially ditiicult as it seemed desirable to continue the extra curricular subjects, such as Military Training, for which no regular time period had been provided in the past, Military Band, Orchestra, Debate, Dramatics, Art, Chorusg also, because the Woman's Club turned over the lunch room to the school administra- tiong also, because the Assembly is not large enough to accommodate all students at once. Further, in order that no student might be deprived ot' any opportunities either in regular work or in extra curricular subjects, it became necessary to place the two assemblies. three lunch hours and extra curricular hours in the middle of the day's program so that the early group coming at eight-thirty and leaving at two-fourteen and the later group coming at ten and remaining until four-twenty might both have full access to the entire curriculum. After this complex program had been constructed it was found that with the able assistance of the secretary and the faculty every student could be satisfactorily placed and the Board of Edu- cation gave its hearty approval of this plan as it obviated the temporary expenditure of build- ing barracks and yet would give us good results with, of course, some inconveniences. Smne of the outstanding steps of progress in the program are: full-time instructor in music, an added teacher and course in domestic science, an added course in manual training, iron and automobile mechanics, added assistance in the commercial department, organization of classes in general science and first aid for boys, military training placed on a regular time schedule on the strength of which the government has sent an assistant in military scienceg a custodian to care for the building at night has been arranged for and part of his salary is paid from the rental charge for outside evening activities in the gymnasium by the following organizations: West Side Athletic Club, Moffet Park Athletic Association, Young M'en's Club Episcopal Church. Young Men's Club K. of C., American Legion, High ,School Basket Ball. Steps of progress in matters of equipment are: Qaj An up-to-date machine equipment of the wood and iron shopsj after the fire the old machines were sold and new lathes, grinder, mortis-er, circle saw, band saw, surfacer and engine lathe were ordered. These machines are now installed, the work, except for electrical connections being done by the boys under the able direction of the supervisors of the wood and iron shops. Qbj New drawing tables for the drafting department. w Ten
