No Blank Diplomas
At High This Year
Principal Philip A. Jakob of
the Norwaik High school declared
yesterday morning at the regular
weekly assembly that no seniors
who failed to make the required
credits to he graduated. will re-
ceivc blang or “camouflage" di-
plomas at the commencement ex-
ercises next week.
"It has been the custom in past
years,” the principal said. "for
failing seniors to be ,presented
with unsigned .diplomas at the
graduation ceremonies. This
plan will not exist this year. Any
member of the senior class who
has failed to make the prescribed
grade will not be granted the
honor which should only rightly
be conferred upon successful stu-
dents. I sincerely advise all
members of the class of 1924
who will not receive a diploma.
to remain off the platform at
graduation to avoid embarass-
ment."
