Seniors To Present 'Cheaper ByTheteen' Dec. 6
To encourage day-by-day
studying and to eliminate
so many D's and Incom-
pletes on report cards,
the teachers formulated a
few regulations that went
into effect on November 2.
’As a means of raising
grades for the first six-
week grading period, any
student was given a chance
to make up all back work
by November 9,
RULES
A second rule requires
work to be in within two
days after a student re
turns to school if he has
been absent only one or
two days.
The decision reached by
the faculty specifically
states that hereafter a
six-week grade will not be
changed exc.ept in the case
of sickness or other in
cident that causes a stu
dent to miss the last part
of a grading period.
If a teacher announces a
test before the date of
the test, any student ab
sent that day must make
the test up the day he re
turns on a study hall be
fore class, if one; if
not, on class.
SEMESTER GRADES
At the end of a semester,
if a student fails the
exam, he may take the exam
over once if passing is
determined by exam.
"These added regulations
are not intended as punish
ment. We hope that by ob
serving them each student
will keep both the quality
and quantity of his work
up to par,” explains Prin
cipal M, W. Weaver.
Having been a success as
a play and a movie, "Cheap
er By The Dozen", a three-
act comedy, will now be
presented by the seniors,
December 6 at 8 o’clock,
in the school auditorium.

Staff Sets Standards
For Attending Meet
Agreeing that everyone
should do his part in jour
nalism, the class authoriz*
ed its instructor to work
out a point chart that
would determine the eligi
bility of any member's be
ing qualified to attend
the ^ess Convention in
New York in March.
The chart makes it possi
ble for a student to earn
150 to l60 points.
TRIP
To make the trip he must
have 120 points to his
credit by the. time the
February issue of the
BUGLE is published.
Number of points given
pupils for each assigned
task varies from one to
five depending upon the
energy, carefulness, and
thought required.
Because some students
have not been doing as
much work as others, the
class did not feel that
all should share alike in
the BUGLE funds.
