Show Jr. High School Receives Double Honors I ft - i'' ' ' -? t f ! ' .... . u .. ,r ' .'... . ,,v ' v X ? -J... ""T"- , .MefiM'4a4teuuJ Principal L. C. Miles, the Cedar Ce-dar City Junior high school, and the school faculty received double dou-ble recognition nationally this week as the result of the unique guidance program that has been ir effect at the local institution for a number of years. The guidance program of the .Cedar City school was thoroughly thorough-ly discussed in the December is- sue of the National Education .Association journal in an article prepared by the school principal princi-pal and at about the same time the journal came off the press Mr. Miles was invited to take 'charge of the Guidance depart-I depart-I ment at the annual convention of the Mational Secondary Schools 'Principals Association. The guidance program at the Cedar City school, which was instituted in-stituted through the cooperative effort of all faculty members, has been gaining more and more national na-tional attention. Three years ago in New York Mr. Miles gave a talk on the "Adolescent Explorer," Explor-er," th3 junior high student participating par-ticipating in the guidance program, pro-gram, and since that time several articles have appeared in education educa-tion publications. The guidance program at the school has been developed through providing an exploratory period in the daily school program, pro-gram, during which club activities activi-ties are organized which gives the adolescent explorer a chance to find what he needs. Through the program the exploring student stu-dent devotes a definite portion of each day to the activity in which he is most interested. Interests of the students vary greatly, but the most common ones include photography, journalism, wild life and conservation, radio, aeronautics, merchandising, ceramics, cer-amics, banking, dramatic art, model planes, interior decorating, printing, lapidary, taxidermy and leathercraft. The annual convention of the Secondary School Principals Association As-sociation will be held in Milwau-kle, Milwau-kle, Wis., Feb. 20 through 24. More than 12,000 principals of schools throughout ihe United States and adjacent territories are expected to attend. To be invited to take charge of a department at the annual con- vention is a malnr recognition I not onlv to Mr. Miles, but to the schools of this district, particularly particu-larly the iunior high school whre the puidance program has been developed so successfully. |
