JUNIOR HIGH TO BE LAUNCHED IN CITY NEXT FALL Preparations Have Held First Interest of Board in 1931. Steps taken for creation and establishment of a junior high school system in Indianapolis occupy a good portion ox the limelight in a year-end review of the school city. Milo H. Stuart, assistant superintendent of schools, in charge of secondary education, is directing the work and has appointed fourteen seminar committees to study junior high school problems. Virgil Stlnebaugh, formerly of the state department of education, was appointed to make special studies of the junior high school curriculum. The plau probably will go into effect at the banning of the next school year in September. Athletics Reorganized Reorganization of Indianapolis high school athletics was one of the most important reforms effected. Football and basketball schedules were shortened and night football games abolished. Three new elementary school buildings were opened during the year—No. 56, for Negro children, costing $132,000, located at Columbia avenue and Twenty-fourth street; No. 69, Keystone avenue and Thirty-fifth street, $163,000, and No. 82, at 4700 English avenue, SIBB,OOO. A voluntary enrollment system was inaugurated in the city’s schools for the first time and proved a success, according to Paul C. Stetson, schools superintendent. More than 80 per cent of the grade school pupils and 85 per cent of the high school pupils were reported registered in advance of the regular opening. New Activities Launched Ralph W. Wright was named the new director of music and ’the school board followed by* organizing a department of publications, under William A. Evans. The department began as one of its activities a weekly radio broadcast designed to acquaint the public with school problems.. Another important move in the school city was the establishment of the platoon school system for experimental purposes in schools No. 34 and No. 16. The system, known as the work-study-play plan, is being used for about 1,000 pupils in the two schools. The number of families helped by the schools’ social service department increased by 34 per cent between the opening of schools and Dec. 1. End of the year finds a reorganization on the board of school commissioners, Samuel E. Garrison, attorney, replacing Fred Kepner, whose term expires Jan. 1. The remainder of the board, Russell Willson, president, Merle Sidener, Mrs, Maude Miller, and Julian Wetzel, remains intact.

EVEN this, too, shall pass. Much water goes under the bridge during the average span of life. Heartaches, headaches, tears, laughter, the ecstasy of high hopes, the bitter disappointment of defeat, encouragement, discouragement; we run the whole scale of human emotion before we call it “quits.” M # YET, we live through it all and life goes on just the same whether times are good or bad. And thanks to an all-wise Creator, the hurts and heartaches of today are quickly healed and forgotten in the hopes and joys of tomorrow. B B B BOISCE, the philosopher, said: “He who has lost confidence can lose nothing more.” There may be many storms during the coming year, the ship of life may be tossed and twisted in dangerous economic eddies and whirlpools; but with hope and confidence at the wheel we can weather it through. a a a TO say that adversity is good for us is a meaningless bromide from which little comfort can be derived. To be hungry and cold is not good for any one. All that we can learn from adversity is that man is nothing in the great cosmos of things when fate deals a losing hand. BUM LET us not face the future with false hopes bom of unfounded predictions but with the calm courage and faith that has carried us through the years. Let us remember that when the strength of man fails there is an inexhaustible supply from above, provided we put our hands to the wheel and help steer a steady course. * * LET us nourish the hope that Whittier has so beautifully expressed in his Dream of Summer: BEHIND the clouds the starlight lurks, Through showers the sunbeams fall; For God, who loveth all his works, Has left His hope with all.
