CAN WE IMPROVE HIGH
SCHOOL DAY?
The fleet that eight inter-scholas
tic records were broken, in spite of
unfavorable weather conditions, it
shows very clearly that the Ninth
Annual High School D«t was a
• > splendid success, as far as the qual
ity of the individual contestants wan
concerned. The average ability of
the individuals ia attendance was
easily the best ever shown at any in-
ter-echolastic meet held in- Texas.
It was evident, however, that not
enough arhools were represented. The
main object of High School Day is to
influence high school and academy
students, including promising ath
letes, to enter the A. and M. College.
It therefore stands to reason that
the larger the number of schools at-,
tending High School Day the greater
aind more far-reaching will be the re
sults obtained.
Our limited finances and dormitoty
facilities will probably always re
strict the attendance to less than
two hundred. In order to approa< h
this number as closely as possible, it
is going to be necessary to make a
few changes in the poilcy followed in
past years. Some of the most im
portant of these changes in my judg
ment are given below:
1. Instead of paying the expenses
of a few teams and individuals that
have made certain records, we would
pay, say. fifty' per cent, of the ex
penses of teams winning in all dis
trict meets and of all individuals not
on winning teams who scoye as high
as twelve points in such meets.
2. The academies should be elim
inated, and the money spent on
medals and cups for that division
should be used in bringing additional
high schools to the meet.
* S. The attendance tickets should
be sold at least thirty days in ad
vance of the meet, so as to enable
the committee in charge of select
ing teams to know definitely 4 just
how many contestants cm be invited,
had this plan been followed thg pa«t
year, several more teams could have
been invited.
As High School Day is supported
principally by the student body, I de
sire to invite a frank and free div.
cussion of the suggestions made
above by the students interested. I
also wish to invite other constructive
suggestions for improving Hign
School Day. ,
