• Administration — Continuing its di splay of ed- ucational advancement, unhampered in fortitude by the many difficulties which have beset her, Wilson this year added another chapter, her ninth, to the al- ready full book of achievements. More than 1800 students have increased their knowledge, and 500 have been turned out with the stamp, ' ' High School Graduates. • Principal Harry J. Moore ' s coveted brainchild, the A and B conference period plan, wound up its sec- ond successful year among the plaudits of local edu- cators. With students meeting only every other day for each class, this new system has opened countless fields for pupil advancement and freedom by permit- ting an enriched course and new interests. 9 Art.

Q V D u H D u H D u H hJ D u • New Fields Opened — Operating under the scru- tiny of national educational circles, Wilson ' s elabor- ate system of courses offered were supplemented and reorganized to meet the ever changing conditions. • The new Family Relations classes, open only to graduating seniors, were overfilled in all four per- iods. This enlightening subject, taught only at Wil- son, seeks to prepare youths for their later life. • The combined foods classes, in which boys and girls work side by side in preparing the choicest of culinary dishes, came in for its bit of praise. With an eye to matrimony of the future, boys learn the deli- cate art of cookery and even surpass their feminine co-workers in finished products turned out. Realizing the great pressure demanded by society on those who enter business, they came out with honors. 9 English, Languages — Krythc, Townsend, Dougherty, W. Garlick, Grimes, Blackwood, Johnson, Harrison, Farnsworth, Scott, Oxiey.

y l tu • Wilson ever the pioneer, cast another hat into circle. World History- English classes f lathered their scope in their second year of service to the sopho- mores. TTiis widely publicized course raises the class- room out of the usual droll routine, changing it to a laboratory in which the participating not only learn, but explore the why ' s and how ' s of subjects. • Its purpose is to orient the student to high school life and studying. This course makes English more practical because it is directly applied to current historical events. The students are given a deal of freedom in the choice of research problems. Inspira- tional, rather than vocational messages, were present- ed this year in the series of Monday afternoon lec- tures. Several Junior College instructors, ministers, students and city leaders spoke to the group. • Physical Education — Davis, Gartner, Frazcr, Sergei, Archer, Hie- field, O.
