We have seen a continually larg- er per cent of boys and girls com- pleting the full high school course fewer students are leaving school during the junior high school years. The courses now offered are organized to give efficient training in skills needed for adult living as well as college preparation. The Diversified Cooperative Training Program, a course designed to give actual work experience while the boy and girl are completing their school work, has proved a very valuable course in our high school.
