This certificate enables the holder to be eligible to teach in any High School. Practice teaching is provided by Brigham Young High School for those students working for the teaching certificate. Another division is the graduate study for those students who want their masters degree in the field of secondary education. The last division is the planning of the subject matter in such fields as related major and minor subjects, and composite majors. A composite major is usually more desirable in this field as it gives the future teacher a broader knowledge.

JOHN CLARKE Greetings Brigham Young High School is unique in having traditions which are linked with the very foundation of the state. It was founded by Brigham Young and given the responsibility of teaching the youth of the area. As the academy became a university, the secondary school became a laboratory for the training of teachers. But it is our wish to carry out the original charge given to our first president in 1875. Our function is to teach young people not only the truths necessary for a successful life, but also to build the spirit of Christ in a functional way into their lives. I see many challenges ahead. But there are none which students and faculty cannot cooperatively meet. Our curriculum has always been varied and rich. This year we have an especially fine offering in physical education for both boys and girls; in science, mathematics, social science, business, speech, and dramatic art, shop, music (which will include chorus, Home-Maki- ng orchestra and band) and the language arts. We feel our program compares favorably with schools which have many times our en- DANCE rollment. and Get Acquainted At The Our faculty this year is better than ever. I am sure all of you will look forward to meeting our new members and to renewing your friendships with those who have been here before. I look forward to the opening of school with a good deal of pleasure. We anticipate one of the finest student groups in the history of the B. Y. High School. Smith Bldg.
