Are these last year's Freshmen who now swing into high school activ- ities and classes like veterans? Some of their steps will be taken in the following subjects. Let's lis- ten and hear how they are coming along with them. In World History we studied about the world from pre-historic times to the World Wars. His- tory furnishes us with a better understanding of the world in which we live. We most enjoyed learning about living things and the dissecting of worms, fish, and grasshoppers in Biology. The first semester of English we studied gram- mar. We found that diagraming sentences was very interesting and helpful. During the second semester we studied literature. The main object in Algebra was to learn how to figure with literal values instead of numerical values. All of the Algebra students enjoyed this very much. Ralph Hogancamp, Melvern Husemnn, Jerry Buckendahl Darrel Bama, Tom Kristensen, Dennis Otto, Vernon Hoops The Home Economics girls were occupied with their cooking and sewing in class. For cooking they learned to prepare foods for different types of meals. They were very happy to help prepare and serve the faculty banquet. In sewing the girls first made skirts and jumpers. Next they made clothing of their own choice. In Agriculture the bovs learned about different tools and used this knowledge to carry out various building projects. There were also turn-about days when the Ag boys took Home Ec. and the Home Ee. girls took Ag. Since this was quite different from the sched- ule every one enjoyed it a great deal. One of the most anticipated courses offered in the Sophomore year is Drivers Training. Before actual driving takes place the pupils study the mechanism of the car and traffic laws. This should insure better driving habits.

These are the "Young At Heart" who must now learn to adapt themselves to the high school schedule. They will also begin to consider what they wish to do in the following years. This is the way they feel about their first year in high school: English, which includes spelling, has often proved to us how much we misuse our language and how we can improve our speech and writing. However, we eventu- ally get our fill of subjects and predicates, objects and participles, so we have liter- ature for the second semester. A book re- port every six weeks and an occasional theme or story are also part of this course. Because of the conflicts in time schedules the boys and girls are divided for this class. The study of General Science covers wild life, energy and space, and tends to show us the complex things in our world and universe. Frequent experiments help demonstrate the facts which we learn here. We really give our brains a workout in General Mathematics class where we learn almost everything that has to do with numbers. Our teacher also adds many new terms dealing with mathematics and its use. Girls who enjoy sewing and cooking find Home Economics a useful and inter- esting class filled with worthwhile infor- mation and many new experiences. While the girls are taking Home Eco- nomies, the boys choose either Vocational Agriculture or Industrial Arts. Agriculture is mainly the study of things useful to a good farmer. The boys learn about building and using farm equip- ment, They study livestock and get valu- able information for use in future years. The rest of the boys attend shop class- es where they learn woodworking and use the many new tools available. Here they may become interested in carpentry or other phases of this type of work.
