Needed for Graduation Studies at HHS always look to the future. Students prepar- ing for a good job and those planning to attend college found their future adequately planned through the facilities at Highland. Instructors and students concerned with a commercial course found the future ever present in opportunity and the modem equipment at their disposal. Business courses included academic solids as well as clerical classes designed to give the student actual contact with machines and situations encountered in the business world. Adding ma- chines and electric typewriters aided the teachers in explaining clerical techniques. Manual shop classes combined with a schedule of good solid courses provided a well-rounded educational experience for boys at all grade levels. By sharing tools and machines, the boys learned cooperation with and consideration of the other person- two characteristics important in becoming good citizens. The mathematics department also played an important pan in preparing college-bound students for institutions of higher learning. Besides the standard courses seniors enrolled in ad- vanced mathematics courses consisting of the study of trigonom- etry, logarithms, oblique triangles, college algebra, and some analytical geometry. Myrna Paterson finds a wealth of practical experience in clerical practice.
