There is a conflict between: drama and journalism (both E13 and E14), drams and L5â€"7, drama and orchesâ€" tra, orchestra and E14, E13 and Lbâ€"7, chorusâ€"and Spanish 3, chorus and MD8, filing and MD8,â€"filing and tumbling, E10 and band. â€" Six semesters of English are reâ€" quired for graduation. The semesâ€" ters required are E1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, 9,.13. If E13 is chosen as the sixth semester, it must be followed by E14 unless Mr. Peers consents to the omission of E14. After students have completed the above requirement, they may regisâ€" ter for a fourth year in English. In fact, students preparing for <colâ€" lege are urged to take four years of English. Credit for fourth year English goes by the yearâ€"not by the semester, p ever buile â€"and America is buying them at the sate of oneâ€"aâ€"minute!

In addition, the stuâ€" dent in this course must â€"register for. gymnasium and any two elecâ€" tive subjects which will enable them to meet the requirements for gradâ€" uation from high school. The Highway Safety course is a preparatory course in car driving, giving the student knowledge of the operation of the automobile, traffic regulations, and sound driving practices.
