Furlong explained that In the late 1930 a typical high school student was studying for a commercial or studying preparations for university Many a student got a job without much education and made his or her own advancements through his particular line of working There werent many distractions in those There were fewer cars available there was little smoking drinking and of courc drug we- of What I am saying la that there an entirely different at mosphere explained Mr Furlong The high schools In and around the 1830 would have around students each year To point out some change this year at Georgetown a high school registered Mr Furlong continued to discuss the changes In the high school systems Following the war many major changes were made In the education system Students were

the commercial and technical students were beading for graduation after completing Grade Twelve and those students in the art programme were beading for university One of the major changes In our school system Is the conversion to the credit system whereupon the branches have been dropped The credit system replaced the old pass fall system where a student had to pass everything in order to be promoted to the next grade Now students take the subjects they feel require for whatever particular goal they ore striving for We are trying to supply the student with a program of available courses which reach then- needs to the best of our ability continued Mr Furlong He continued to point out the social changes over the period of time It wasnt too long ago when a student with long hair would

showed percent of the students of any Grade class in the late 1930 failed at least once during their previous grades In rural areas It was not an exception for a public school student to retire quit school because there were many Jobs available especially for boys When we talk about the good old days we are basically talking about the teacher pup relationship Trowbridge Peter who after eight
