Vocational Agriculture One of the most vital and basic courses offered at Denton High School is Vocational Agriculture, the study of crops, grasses, livestock, and farm management. In these classes the boys learn how to be men of the soil, the scientific and modern way. What was good enough for their fathers isn't good enough for them, for each new im- provement means greater production and more economical management. Take the grasses, for instance, in the picture below. By studying what grass is best adapted to the surrounding country and which is highest in nutritional value, the boys can better plan their own farms, pastures, and feeds. It falls to the lot of the present generation to restore the land to its original fertility after it has been worn-out by poor farming practices.

The woodworking class in Industrial Arts is one of the most popular in the shop curriculum Here some of the boys are working on individual projects Industrial Arts Creating things with the hands gives a great deal of satisfaction to the individual. Watching things take shape from rough blocks of wood, metal, or leather is akin to the feeling a father has as he watches his son take shape and grow. Courses offered in the Denton High Industrial Arts Department include mechanical drawing, crafts, and Woodwork. Boys taking the mechanical drawing courses have been well received by employers on summer vacation jobs. This course, taught by Mr. Jones, is one of the outstanding Industrial Arts programs offered in the state.
