With Its Larger Faculty, New Building, Modern Curriculum, Superior Equipment, And
Excellent Opportunities For Participation In Student Activities, the O’Neill High School
Is Launching the Greatest Year In The History Of The Institution.
Opening Date Will Be Announced Later _
“THE NEWER AIM IN EDUCATION”
F. E. Alder, Superintendent of Schools
THE modern view point requires that the schools
■ interpret education not as a process of teach
ing facts only, but as a process of developing
i • j i • l l

Superintendent of Schools
personality, sums,
and character. Of
course facts must be
thoroughly taught as
a basis for these
other elements, but
education based on
facts without the de
sired skills that go
along with them or
the attitudes of mind
which lead the indi
vidual to pursue his
voc a t i o n skillfully
and with energy and
enthusiasm are of
but little value.
The faculty of the
O’Neill High School
has been selected
with attention to this kind of teaching. Differ
ent instructors are expected to make a definite
contribution of facts in their own fields, but this
is not all; they must have skill in developing char
acter, personality, social traits, and other desir
able qualities in the individual.
. . Courses of Instruction . .
VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE
THIS course prepares students to engage in the
■ business of farming. Students who take the
required Smith-Hughes agriculture courses plus
economics, advanced social science, accounting
and typing will be issued a special diploma show
ing their graduation from the department of vo
cational agriculture. Smith-Hughes agriculture
courses may be selected as electives by boys who
feel the need of such training but who wish to
graduate from some other course.
COMMERCIAL COURSE
THIS is a four year high school course and pre
pares students for participation in business
life.
SECRETARIAL COURSE
THE secretarial course includes the commercial
course but requires in addition at least two
years of typing and shorthand to prepare for
stenographic work.
HOME ECONOMICS COURSE
THE home economics course presents instruc
■ tion in sewing, cooking and home-making.
This course will emphasize the development of
those skills so desirable in making a “house a
home.”
In order to allow time for completion of the new
addition it is necessary to postpone the opening
of school. The usual vacations will be shortened
to make the closing date about the usual time.
. . O’Neill High School Band . .
THE reputation of Mr. Ira George as a band leader and instructor in instru
■ mental music is well known. In one year Mr. George has developed one of the
finest bands North of the Platte. The O’Neill High School band meets daily
for a period of playing under Mr. George’s direction and in addition two periods
a week are devoted to individual or small group instruction. This instruction is
free. Students who desire may take private lessons.
DRAMATICS AND SPEECH
UO high school activity will do more to
free the personality of boys and
girls than dramatics and speech work.
For this department the board of edu
cation has secured the services of Miss
Virginia Johnston of Roodhouse, 111.
Miss Johnston is cum laude graduate
of Duchesne college with majors in
English and dramatics.
ATHLETICS .
THE reputation of the O’Neill High
' School in football is unexcelled in
northern Nebraska. This year Coach
Elmer Stolte will have the able assist
anee of Harold Connors and Dorian
Lockman. O’Neill’s fine, new gymnas
ium with a seating capacity of seven
hundred should promote the develop
ment of basketball. The O’Neill High
School has scheduled games with the
very best teams in northern Nebraska
particularly Albion, Wayne and Pierce.
Participation in athletics will afford
boys the much desired and beneficial
opportunity for traveling. The wide
experience offered by athletic partici
pation, the physical development, and
the sportsmanship learned in playing
the game make athletics a very worth
while educational activity.
