BAIUEY NEEDS \OCATIOK'M GJiDAMa CCXJRSE The need for a. vocational guidc.nce PcuTEe in all high schools is becoming more evident each ds;f. In May of this year- the seniors will become high school graduates. Until now, the hardest decision for us to make has been the one conoerning o’or vccax,ion: ’^fhat can we do to make an honest, respectful living? Other young people, not only in Bailey but all over the world, are probably in this same predicament, ^■Why can't the small high schools offer some kind of vo cational guidance course—a course that would at least start the student to thinking about vfhat he would like to do and bej one that would test his ability in vorious fields and show him which field he belongs in. We seniors would like to propose that such a course be offered in Bailey* HWINING REFLECTS THE FUTURE In a democracy where a person’s future course is not designated by those above him, the thing that probably guides most people is their training. The most important training, of course, is that received at home, and next in importance is that received at school. School training, because of its variety of interests, leads young minds to decide their likes and dislikes. Modern inventions, making transportation and communica^ tion faster and easier, have broadened the interests of the youth of today, thus making it necessary for the school to broaden still more its curriculum# In regard to international problems such as communism the school must help train men and women of tomorrow to hold to their freedoms. It is the job of the school to teach a sense of broadmindedness, now more than ever, because of the closer contact students have with all na tions and raccs of people. Clear, broad minds should lead to a brighter future for us all. FACULTY-STUDENTS CHANCf CONDUCT GRADING This spring a new system of grading conduct, the point system, was devised by the students and teachers. .By this system a number of points are taken off a pupil's conduct for each offense committed. The student's grade is derived from the total noints received during the grading period. To determine grades with the old system, the high school teachers met at the end of cach grading period. Each puoil's name was called out, and the lowest grade suggested was that student's grade for the six -weeks. Neither system is oerfect. The best conduct grading system is the one that promotes the best conduct. It is believed that the oresent system is an improvement, and it is hoped it will make students so conduct conscious that they themselves will imorove their conduct. Gr9ot Expociation - - But Noif^ing Happened One. -morninp; as I tramped down the hall to my favorite refuge, the labortary, I was confronted with the hor rible smell of ammo nium sulfate and a sense that something was cooking. Because of the fact that Mr. ''/eaver was away for av/hile, the physics class was try ing out their skill at mixing chemicals. Everyone was mixing, pouring, and heating strange solutions, but no one seemed to be making anything useful. Then Deri and Scott struck the idea of mak ing some gun powder. Out came the sulfur, charcoal, and listers. After a good mixing, an innocent, little pile of black powder was placed on the w4>n- dow sill. Everyone was ready for the big test. '71 th one hand over his ear and the other hold ing a lighted match, Deri was ready to set off the explosion. He lighted it and jumped back, but until this day no one has heard a single pop, only a cloud of black smoke floated away into the morning air.
