A GRI C UL TURE AND HOME ECONOMICS Modeling and the judging of clothes are major parts of Home Economics III, as these girls demonstrate. Beautiful chests, cabinets, and tables are made by the boys in Agriculture Shop. Not only is this experience a learning exercise, but the boys are able to put their finished pro- duct to a practical usage. Home Economics is taught to girls exclusively for the purpose of educating them for their future roles as homemakers. ' The teaching of Agriculture to boys enables them to make the farmer's role in our society more effective and less ignored. These two subjects are closely related in that the students of both are enriched vocationally by the practi- cal application of knowledge to life. P r o p e r food preparation and presentation are very important in the life of the Home Econom- ics I students. i

FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND ENGLISH English I, II, III, and IV all have one common goal: to provide a better and more basic un- derstanding of the English language and its literature. Through programmed education, periodic oral reports, speeches, and discus- sions, and the writing of formal and informal themes and creative poems and short stories, English provides afirm foundation for further study in grammar, literature and composition. Better understanding of a nation's culture by means of direct communication, that is, listen- ing c o mp r e h e n s i on and spoken language, breaks barriers between nations and peoples andthus paves the way for mutual respect and friendship. Latin and French students gain this basic understanding. TOP PHOTO: Latin students make plans for a program to be given during one of their monthly Latin Club meetings.
