Laxton Hamrick) At the last meeting of the School' Board, I was asked to make a study of the success of the graduates of Tryon High School in college and other advanced study. I have not been able to make a thorough study or a scien tific analysis. I have not had the time nor do we have sufficient records on the success of our graduates. With the help of the school secre tary and faculty, we found: 1. Of 264 graduates in the past 15 years, 126 entered college or other advanced training. 2. Of the 126 who entered, 117 have graduated or are still in school. 3. Of the 9 who dropped out of school and have not returned to school, 4 entered military service; 2 got married; 3 dropped out of college to work. Each student who dropped out of college to work had been in college more than a year. As far as we know, they did not fail, but failure after a year in college can hardly be blamed on the high school. There may be errors with regard to some one or more of our 264 graduates in the past 15 years, but the errors would not be apt to change the picture. The percentage of our graduates going on for further training is unusually high. The record of their further suc cess is excellent. The number who have dropped out of college is sur prisingly low. In fact, I challenge anyone to nnd many records that are better than the records of Tryon High School in the matter of preparing students for college. As another means of getting a picture of the situation, a question naire was presented to the High -Continued o-n Back Pace . .
