records of the activities of each
student throughout the year. The
necessity of complete records Is due
to the fact that other schools and
prospective employers demand not

a former student, but also a per
sonal sheet.
For this reason, personal Infor
mation about each student Is being
collected and kept on file. The In
formation 1 being gathered from
the student's Interest In his class
work, from his actions during rec
reation hours, and from his con
duct, and the part he takes In stu
