Dunkle English Science NEW FRONTIERS— Wilson ever a pioneer in the educational field, this year, again, stepped to the ' fore, guided by Principal Harry J. Moore, as it experimented with several new methods of stud The most significant of these changes was the dail program providing for classes on alternate aays with free periods for special interests. This was d signed to foster natural trends and tendencies of thi students toward their chosen avocation and vocats ional interests and to allow students who were defi(? ient in certain courses to strengthen the ' r work scholastically through the personal contact made! possible by the program. In the era of changing times of social and economic life this innovation has proved itself invaluable ini the more complete preparation it pffords saideritsi for their place in national life. By the stimulatioi i of their avocational and vocational preferences, stu- dents are gaining a richer background for partici- pation in the life of a changing world a ' ld the pro spect of greater leisure. Students finding certain studies mote difficult aiv feeling the necessitv for further guidance along those lines were greatly benefited by this new schedule.

This year has seen the initiation of several new courses in an already extensive curriculum. As part of a city-wide plan of Integration under the genera! supervision of Superintendent of Schools H. S. Up- john, Wilson has developed two integrated courses, an English- World History course for all Sopho- mores, and Sociology-Public Speaking course for advanced students. The World History and Sophomore Fnglish teach- ers, with Miss Marv Hansen in charge, worked ouc a course wherein the contents of the two courses were combined and given a practical value. The combination Public Speaking- Sociology and Family Relations courses, directed by Wellington G. Pierce, provided courses of special interest. Mod- ern sociology formed the basis of topics for training in public speaking that took form ir five minute talks on current topics before city service clubs. Forty students were in constant demand for these assignments. The Long Beach school system has long been the subject of much interest due to its dauntless progress for a better education.
