To find out what makes plants green and animals breathe, we go to the biology class under the direction of Mr. Blackburn. Here the students prepare for the higher science classes which they will encounter in the com- ing years. The chemistry class takes a break from atoms and neu- trons. The class has become the place to prepare for careers and hobbies in science and the cultivation ground of skills and talents based on science. As the date of graduation nears, the Seniors begin to realize the value of each fleeing minute. Here they are shown working on research themes, under the direction of Miss Moore. The Spanish class was organized to promote an interest in the study of our southern neighbors. 16

To achieve a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfaction of homemaking, is the desire of the girls in the Home Economic classes. Here they are being taught the fundamentals of cook- ing, but besides this they are taught to sew and to take care of the home and family. Several of the girls showed their special talent by making their own Easter hats and by covering shoes to match their ensembles. The Vocational Agricultural classes sponsor a club for its members, The Future Farmers of America. This club entered many events this year, taking many awards. Some of the events entered were dairy, livestock, and range judging. District and Area Leadership contest, and both the T. and O. Fair and the state fair. Besides these, they also presented several programs to various clubs in our county. The shop class of today gives the boys a chance to learn about metal works, as well as animal life and the ordinary farm chores. For many boys it is the starting point of their future careers. This year has seen much accomplishment for these boys.
