Seminary Day School
Enrollment Increases
The Wyoming Seminary Day
School provides an integrated cur-
riculum from pre-school through °
the eighth grade. Wyoming Semi-
nary combined in July 1951 with
the Wilkes-Barre Day School in
Forty Fort to form the Wyoming
Seminary Day School. The Day
School history, with its predecessor
institutions — the Wilkes-Barre In-
stitute formed in 1854 and the
Wilkes-Barre (Harry Hillman)
Academy founded in 1878—
reaches far back into the rich past
of Wyoming Valley.
The Day School enrollment in
the last ten years has increased
more than 50% in spite of higher
admission requirements. In 1955
the Day School acquired, through
the generous gift of Mrs. Franck
G. Darte, the Payne Pettebone
House in Wyoming, makingitpos-
sible to establish three preschool
groups, from 3! to 5, instead of
two for this department.
Kenneth C. MacArthur, former
assistant headmaster at the Hack-
ley School, was appointed head-
master in 1959. John D. Hughes,
former assistant principal of
Keansburg Elementary School,
was appointed assistant head-
master in 1961 to replace Miss Bes-
sie G. Atwood who retired.
The administration continues to
emphasize small group education
at all levels. The primary teachers
give special attention to the young
children as they learn the basic
skills — reading, writing, and arith-
metic—to insure the development
of careful work and study habits
and to provide a sound foundation
for future learning. Art, music, and
physical education play an impor-
tant role in the well-rounded cur-
riculum for this department as well
as the intermediate level. The inter-
mediate students learn to develop a
deep appreciation for their own
cultural heritage as well as a toler-
ance for the cultures of other
peoples. Their learning experiences
help them to weigh facts and draw
logical conclusions from the knowl-
edge obtained. By working to-
gether in all of their activities the
students are encouraged to develop
greater social responsibility
through participation in the life of
the school community. The scho-
lastic goal of the intermediate de-
partment is preparation for the
Secondary Education Board exam-
inations at the end of the eighth
grade.
In September 1961, a new ac-
celerated program in French,
Latin, and mathematics was in-
troduced so that students who start
the program in the seventh grade
will be able to earn a year’s high
school credit in these subjects atthe
end of the eighth grade. In connec-
tion with this program and in order
to better prepare the students for
participation in the French course,
conversational French is included
in the third and fourth grade cur-
riculum. Fifth grade students be-
gin more formal instruction in the
language and move into regular
high school French in the seventh
grade.
The arithmetic curriculum has
also been revised to allow the stu-
dents to complete elementary al-
gebra by the end of the eighth
grade. All of this gives the stu-
dents the opportunity to obtain
advanced standing in three fields
on entering Wyoming Seminary or
other preparatory schools. A high
percentage of Day School grad-
uates maintain excellent academic
records throughout their college
preparatory years, thus assuring
a better preparation for college.
Wyoming Seminary Day School
is accredited by the Pennsylvania
Association of Private Academic
Schools and is a member of the
Secondary Education Board, the
Educational Records Bureau, the
Private Teachers Association of
Philadelphia and Vicinity, and the
National Council of Independent
Schools.
SAFETY ON BUSES
Important to the safety of
school children who must use
buses to get to and from
classes, is their conduct while
boarding and riding the buses.
Rowdiness not only usually re-
sults in bruises, it sometimes
distracts drivers to the point
where traffic accidents result.
Stop, look and be careful at
Crossings.
