Page Twenty-six Q ecfiond In the past year West Night continued to progress in many ways, but the most outstanding was the change in the system of hours and classes. The Board of Education anticipated greater beneHts to the student body from these revisions and without a doubt their hopes have been rewarded. By increasing the hours of instruction twenty-five percent and holding only one class each night, a more concentrated and complete education is attained. Whenever changes are made, limitations, irregularities and kinks must be ironed out. In addition, radical departures from the past are always accompanied by voices of disapproval and criticism. As the year progressed, many students who remained in school denounced the new system, but in time they have observed the advantages. Those who were not serious about the school gen- erally passed by their opportunity by dropping out . On the whole, however, a more genuinely interested student body, minus the stallers , has been the result. Numerically speaking, extra - curricular activities have suffered. Fewer students are at school to draw from or who are interested in staying after the longer period. The question nat- urally arises, Would it be better to go back to the old way? Your impartial commentator reflects in the negative. But what would solve this dilemma? The faculty must strive more earnestly to impress their classes with greater cause for interest, for greater participation, for more cooperation. The students in tum should measure up to their responsibilities. Lastly, new activities must, and will spring up - say of more serious purpose which will receive attention of those who enter West Night. The future is brighter. The faculty and students cooperating wholeheartedly will train young Americans to meet the complexities of modern life in a more satisfactory manner. Prospective students can by the new system manage to become equipped for business requirements in a shorter length of time. Those who wish to get a fuller education will also be accommodated. Progress in its true sense has been the result of looking backward at West Night.
