VALLEY BRANCH OF WIDNEY HIGH Valley Branch of Widney is situated on the North Hollywood Senior High campus in a rambling Spanish house that once was a private home. Even though the student body is small, the majority of students are very active. There are two students who are members of the California Scholarship Federation, and one of them is now a Sealbearer. A Girls' League was organized last year to be of service to the school and to act as hostess at all school activities. This spring a committee of students and their advisors are organizing their second Junior- Senior Prom. The theme will be Blossoms in the Moonlight . Valley Branch will also have its third graduation ceremony in June.

HOME AND HCJSPITAL TEACHING Representatives of another branch of Widney High School seldom seen on campus but hard at work around the city of Los Angeles are the home teachers, with six faculty members ringing doorbells and climbing stairs to bring school to many hospital and homebound pupils. These teachers include Miss Hilda Haddox, who teaches in the Venice and West district, Mrs. Louise Pitman, who is at St. Anne's Hospital, Mrs. Ethel Stuart, who is in the Southeast district and the Harbor, Mrs. Gay Ernberger, who is at the General, Shrine, and Orthopedic Hospitals, Mrs. Miriam Melhorn, who is in the Valley, and Mrs. Barbara Smith, who teaches in the East side district. Each home pupil gets two subjects plus credit for physical education, and one or more hours of teacher time a week, but iust as much homework as any school-attending student.
