Uening, gxfendion, ana! Summer CZCMJQJ OUR nights a week during the past several years the High School has been ablaze with lights as an average of more than 800 local citizens have availed themselves of the opportunities offered in this area of educaf tion. Under the supervision of George W. Osbun, Evening School Di' rector, more than forty courses are offered each semester. The offerings range from practical shop and laboratory courses to recreational activities. There are no entrance requirements except for those earning high school credit. Men and women of all ages are attracted by the varied offerings. The classes are designed to help persons make better use of leisure time, to improve themselves in skills which they may apply at home or on the job, and to earn credits which will enable them oo complet require' ments for a high school diploma. GEORGE W. OSBUN I Director, Adult Classes ORE than 1200 students have completed their first year of college work at the University of Illinois Extension Center since its establishment at W.T.H.S. three years ago. While the center has at' tracted students from the surrounding communities, about threeffourths of those enrolled have been W.T.H.S. graduates. The local center is being discontinued with the completion of the 1949 spring semester in accordance with a recent ruling by the University. According to Miss Ruby Holden, Dean, the Waukegan center has been of great service to the community. It has been a means of starting many young people on a college career. By providing college facilities to local students while they live at home it has helped instill courage and ambition in many who would otherwise never have attempted advanced educational training. C. E. MELTON Director, Summer School INCE the summer of 1945 the High School has provided an eight Week summer school course. Students from other high schools in the county as Well as Waukegan have taken advantage of this opportunity to spend a part of the summer vacation in profitable study. C. E. Melton is the director.
