Joe Hubbell, principal of Tonkawa junior and senior high school, Wednesday reported to the Kiwanis club results and observations of school operation at the end of the first semester under increased requirements for graduation.
With new requirements for college preparatory students raised to 18 credits, including 16 “solids”, the principal noted that 112 students were enrolled in five subjects, while only 39 were carrying a lesser load. Twenty-seven students are enrolled for 5 ½ credits, 25 students are enrolled in 6 credits and five students carry more than 6.
“More students are doing better work this year,” Hubbell stated, noting that the senior class was setting the pace with a different attitude than shown in the past.
