Staff assistants also take care of the clerical work. The Union counly chapter has 20 assistants. Many of them have been giving one-half day each week for the duration. A great volume of work puses over the reception desk each month. Dur ing 1944, 13 members of the corps gave 1,593 hours, there were 2,325 visitors and 1,809 phone inquiries. To Complete School high school to give all boys and girls a standard of values by which they can decide what is worth while and thus make wise educational choices. We arc chal lenged to remove the "it might have beens" and the inevitable regrets that follow dropping out of school. The U. S. office of education and the children's bureau of the department of labor have launch ed a "go to school drive." They point out that not only has high school enrollment dropped a mil- We Can Make the Built-in Units to suit your own specifications!

With money in their pockets, how many of these young people will Voluntarily re sume school work? The govern ment asks all national and local organizations to cooperate in the effort. Youth are created different in sex, different in color and differ ent in mental and physical ca pacities. Birth and environment have made them intelligent or dull, rich or poor, law abiding or delinquent. These youths, all of them, are to be the heirs and trustees for all that is good or bad in our civilization. What the United States will achieve a gen eration hence depends largely on them and on their education now. All Skills Needed With all these individual dif ferences it is difficult to pie scribe a definite program of ecl ucatun. However society makes certain requirements of all youth, and from an analysis of these re quirements La Grande high school can form a pattern of common educational needs. As a pattern I have found nothing belter than the following 10 educational needs of youth as expressed by the National Association of Sec ondary school principals: 1. All youth need to develop salable skills. 2. All youth need to develop and maintain good health and physical fitness. 3. All youth need to under stand the rights and duties of I the citizen of a domocratic so- ciety. 4. All youth need to under stand the significance of the family for the individual and ; society. 5. All youth need to know how to purchase and use goods and services intelligently. 6. All youth need to under stand the influence of science on human life. 7. All youth need to be able to use their leisure lime well and to budget it wisely. 8. All youth need to be able to use an appreciation of liter ature, art, music, and nature. 9. All youth need to develop respect for other persons. 10. All youth need to grow in their ability to think ration ally. 1044-45 Panorama March j March I First National bank building in Klgin was purchased by the First State bank of Klgin . . .

Willow School Toole Part in Programs For All Grades Willow school participated this past year in all activities common to the other grade schools, such as an athletic program, a hot lunch program, scrap collections, radio programs and stamp and bond buying. Through a program of guidance in ..selecting books for leisure time, children's enjoyment of reading and to some extent their skills in reading were Increased. Mrs. Katherine Gregory of the public library staff aided. Willow cooperated with East ern Oregon college of education in a survey to discover the par ticular needs of the children in the school and to discover ways in which the school could help meet these needs. In the first four grades a sur vey was made by means of a daily check sheet which was made up by Miss Neva Neill and Miss Virginia Lee. . In the higher grades the survey of health habits was made by each individual pupil, using graphs of various kinds to record data. A survey of the ways in which they spent their leisure time re vealed the fact that most of the leisure time was spent in aimless wandering from one neighbor hood to the other. Since there was a year-round program of sports at school, this seemed to take care of sports for the boys. A great need for a gymnasius was felt when children had to go clear across town to another gym. It was decided to give play parties for the children of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades.
