F Q- 'H MUXUSDUIU The High School Glee-Club The High School Glee Club has a membership of twenty-four girls who en- roll for the entire year and receive one quarter credit. One of the purposes of this organization is to acquaint the group with songs unfamiliar to them. Throughout the year the glee club has several op- portunities to participate in the social activities of the school. We well remember the carollng at Christmas and the selection at Commencement time. Besides learning various songs for the development of their repertoire, a majority of the girls has learned to appreciate good music and to enjoy the lovely effects that the blending of girls' voices produces. The Junior High Glee Club Q The girls of the Junior High School including the seventh and eighth grades, have an opportunity of organizing a glee club of their own. Its mem- bership of twenty-six has been large enough tc accomplish the learning of various two-part songs with an excellent balance of voices. Although this glee club has not been active this year it has gained a great deal from the weekly hour and a half period. HOM ECONOMICS Home Economics classes have been very busy this year. The first semes- ter we made many dishes -- cakes, pies. soups etc. We cooked and served breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Our services were required for a pub lic speaking class banquet and for the Pancake Supper! These gave us practical experience. We sewed the second semester, making blouses, pajamss,dresses, and smocks. They were nicely done. Posters were made representing different kinds of materials. Excellent results were obtained. The Home Ecers feel that they have spent a profitable and enjoyable year under the instruction and supervision of Mrs. Van Gundy.

WW lFh'FTN'f 7 FF 'V'F?YF'EFY?'Y .' . A . A 'BWV : REQUIRED COURSES Along with other school activities, there are three courses of study that are commonly required, these being mathematics, English, andjaistory. Some students wonder why these studies should be required any more than some others that they might like better. Here is the reason: Everyone knows that a good house cannot be built upon a poor foundation or upon no foundation at all. The same principle holds true here, we cannot build a good education if we do not first take care to form a firm foundation through the aid of these fundamental studies. For how much could we do if we did not know at least the simple mathematical figuresg how far could we hope to go if we could not express our thoughts, ideas, and ideals in our own lan- guageg and what progress could we make if we could not study the faults and mistakes of other people in the past, and thus profit by them. The answer ls evident. AGRICULTURE Mr, Sanford directs the Agriculture Class composed of fourteen Junior and Senior boys. Our literature is received from the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture and Ohio State University. We have on file in the office available bulle- tins which may be used for references and for study. This library may be of considerable value in the near future to the patrons of this school who may care to use these bulletins. A INDUSTRIAL ARTS Our second year in the new Industrial Shop found two large classes regis- teringg and advanced class for Juniors and Seniors and a beginning class for Freshmen and Sophomores. The beginning class numbered 24 students which is more than we can rightfully accommodate at the present. In the future we hope to enlarge the shop taking in more space just east of the room now used. A few new tools were purchased along with a new 24N jig saw and a promise of other power tools to come when funds are available. Many projects for the home were made during the year. The lathes and d er power tools were ln constant use and useful projects turned out. We have rearranged the shop by placing the tools on a panel in the shop in- stead of in the cupboards as before. This improved the appearance of the shop. The old tool room is used as a stock room for lumber and projects. If possible we want to install new benches next year and a few metal working tools and ma- chines. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT ZOOLOGY. Zoology ls a new course this year. It has been conducted as much as possible from the standpoint of individual work. Last fall the group spent most of the first month in the field, and succeeded in making a collec- tion adequate for all laboratory requirements this year. This use of animal life from our own co munity has made the course of much greater value. Two of the group, working on N.Y.A. also have specialized ln museum preparations, and have added much in the way of study material.' We look forward to succeeding years, when studies of animal life in Monclova township will become more and more complete. BIOLOGY. The Biology class has been making great progress this year. A fine leaf collection has been made and added to the school museum. -We have also made good use of the new equipment the school board purchased for us. More laboratory work has been attempted than ever before. Some of the members plan on extending the course throughout the summer when life ls particularly abundant. GENERAL SCIENCE. The General Science class has become more interesting due largely to the purchase of many new scientific instruments. These instru- ments enable us to make many more experiments, which add to the enjoyment of the course.
