NOHMA L TRAINING DEPARTMENT One of the greatest forward steps that has been taken in the local school in recent years has been the introduction of the Nor mal Training work. lleretofore a very large per cent of the graduates have become teach- ers, but have been handicapped by reason of the fact that a low eertiiicate was the best that could he obtained without teaching exa- perience. The popularity of this department is evidenced by the fact that thirteen seniors elected this course at the beginning of the year. Twelve of this number will finish the work, one having dropped out of school at midyear. The class has reiiected a highmoral tone through the sc-hool, and the student body is ,justly proud of the class. Much credit is due .Principal J. W. MeCullo1n, who has di- rected the work, for the hard work which he has done in making the department a suc- cess. Nearly all the members of tl1e Normal Training Class ot' '23 already have schools for the year 1923-1924.

gp y THE srAR I l1lg1gg1.g1.g1gg1g W elch High School 1923 The year 1923 will go down in the history of the Welch High School as a year of hard work with notable progress along many lines. The student body, while not quite as large as that of 1922, is one of the most aggressive student bodies in the history of the institu- tion. The enrollment of students from the adjacent 'rural districts is the largest the school has ever had. And nothing has pro- jected a higher spirit of morale in the school than these rural students. They have shown themselves as capable of high scholarship and they have taken a decided lead in several of the extra curricular activities. A noteworthy step was taken during the year toward student participation in the' gov- ernment of the school. The Student Council was organized along: sane lines and it is hoped that within a brief period it shall be- come a real force in the student life. One of the great forward steps in the school for the year 1923 was the introduction of the Normal Training course. This year twelve of the best students in the school have Chad a very high grade of training for the teaching profession. Most of these students already have schools for next yea.r. This course .serves a two-fold purpose: It gives the students an introductory course that will help them become more efficient teachers, and at the same time provides schools with teachers who have had some professional training where otherwise they might have teachers without training. Another forward step was the equipment provided for science laboratory experimenta- tion. The school is now prepared to offer laboratory work for all of the science courses. The announcement that plans have been made to put the Smith-Hughes vocational ag- riculture work in the school next year is a, source of no little pleasure to the students. It is felt that this work, together with the Normal Training course, will enable the Welch High School to serve its constituency better than ever before. , Mrs. Af: -Abraham, you shouldn't give Ikey so much money.
