I The list of aciideinie subjects offered at Braintree High School is sufficiently wide and varied so that every student at any level of learning can find some field of interest. The English ])rograin of study is fashioned on a three level basis to accommodate the college, non-college, and remedial grou])s with two electives in speech and dramatics. . t each level pupils have a wide choice of cour.scs in literature, busine.s.s English, remedial work, comi)osition, free reading, journalism, and grammar review. All courses strive to broaden pu])il interest and a])preciation ; to develop the habit of clear orderly thinking; to teach correct and effective u-sage in written and oral composition; and to give an oj)j)ortunity for creative expression in the various literary fields. The courses in the Social Studies group follow a twofold pattern; that of studying and understanding the great .social aiul ])olitical movements of the past in both United States and World history; and that of understanding our local government and its basic political, economic, and social ])roblems. The.se cour.ses tend to give pupils a knowledge of the cau.ses of pre.sent conditions with emphasis u{)on the causes and results of the two world wars, and a thorough understanding of the es.sentials of I’nited States history. The Science department covers many fields and gives the student an essential back- ground for college work in the sciences. The college cour.ses in physics, biology, and chemistry are .set up for college preparatory ])U])il.s who desire a background of laws of the sciences. The general cour.ses in the .sciences are exploratory and are intended to develop .scientific minds and interests and their effect on our everyday life and environ- ment. Mathematics is a neces.sary jjortion of many other studies in high school. There are two ty])es of mathematics; one for the college preparatory student, and one for the student who will u.se his mathematical background in the fields of the industrial arts and busine.ss. Mathematics not oidy teaches the fundamental skills of working with numbers, but also the recognition of everyday rea.soinng. High .school mathematics gives the pupil a good foundation in elementary mathematics. The courses .set up in the Busine.ss department are designed to familiarize the pupil with the fundamental ])rinci])le.s of business. If followed all through high .school, these cour.ses teach enough skill and technicpie to establish a ])U])il in various business offices, ( ' ourses jirovide training in all ])ha.se.s of business, commercial geograj)hy, and business law, thereby providing ])uj)ils with a study of the economic world and its effect on our lives. All girls should be interested in the Home Economics. In this department girls are trained in home-making and its related subjects. The girls study food and clothing and all subjects concerned with the establishment and function of a home. The course may be taken by a girl for her own per.sonal u.se or for a basis in consumer buying. The Art department offers cour.ses for pupils interested in art as a background for industrial work or for pu])ils interested in interior decorating, fashion designing, and other related subjects. A study of lettering, dimensions, color, and the fundamentals of design with problems designed to fit everyday living is made by the ])upil. The courses in art are cpiite advanced and will furnisli a ])upil with an excellent foundation in art. Industrial Arts helps many students get started in a field which they later make their life’s work. Pupils taking the shop course also take related courses. Boys taking the major shop course s])end one-third of a year in each of three different shops in their freshman and sophomore years. This gives them experience in all six sho])s in two years. Then in their junior and .senior years they may elect the shop subjects they wish to specialize in for these years. (’ourses in Erench, Latin, and S])ani.sh are offered the student at B.H.S. The.se cour.ses aim to te.ich ])upils a fundamental vocabulary and the necessary basic grammar to enable them to read, write, s])eak, and understand these languages. The study of the.se languages is accom])lished through pictures, maps, radio, records, and songs. The study of foreign languiges hel])s the ])U])il to understand the cidture and customs of other peoples. Braintree High School offers a very comjdete music program. This program consists of both vocal and instrumental work, with a related course in the art of writing music. A course in music a])preciation is offered ])upils who wish to study and understand the works of great masters like T.schaikowsky, Bizet, and (Irieg. There is also choir and glee clubs for j)upils who like vocal work. The choir is a highly selective group but any- one may join the glee club. . 11 in all, there is much to interest the ])upils in their high .school.
