TAYLOR Mathematics Mathematics is essential in all activities calling for the analysis of prob' lems involving quantitative relations. Everyone who buys or sells or borrows needs to apply mathematics in his daily life. The courses offered by the mathematics department furnish knowledge to solve such problems. Among the courses offered by this department are Algebra, Geometry, Trigonmetry. Geometry and Algebra students learn the use of the slide rule to solve problems. Trigonometry students study the operation of a transit and use it to solve problems in indirect measurement. In Solid Geometry they apply the principles of mathematics, photography, and mechanical drawing to visualize threefdimensional constructions. gQ ' LQ neg aa far 6 p gy GL X f a Pagejifteen !QJL!z fJ'v'-?l7'7.2w!'x ' I if f '25-ua.. x

GRACIA C. WHITE Head of Home Economics Aviziur. E. Fours CARRIE E. LAKE ANN McCLsw TVIABEL TURNER Head Librarian HAZEL HOLDER Home Economies The Home Economics courses are centered about the home and the family, where most people spend the greater part of their lives. In the various units We try to develop a better understanding and appreciation of home life and a realization that each person has a definite part in making it happy and successful. The theme throughout the foods classes is Food for Health. Much experimental Work is done to prove that the price is not always indicative of quality in commonly used foods. The clothing classes emphasize that an attractive personal appearance is the result of careful planning and good habits, and that it may be obtained through little expenditure of money. Home Economics courses are not only of foods and clothing, but include a great variety of subjects which give girls a broader interest in home life and home making as a profession. Such phases of the work are Home Furnishing, Costume Making, Clothing Selection, Home Problems, and Social Relations. The latter class is open to boys as well as girls. Home Economics in high school does not prepare one primarily to earn a living, but through it, many girls have obtained good positions. Its fundamental aim is to help girls to become healthier and happier members of the family group as Well as greater assets to society as a whole. Library Most of the routine duties in the library are in charge of students during the day, which relieves the librarians for other library work. Besides being necessary to a smooth routine in the library, the student is gaining much for himself, as he must learn to be calm and poised during the rush periods, he must be courteous at all times, and he must develop accuracy and speed. All of these qualities are demanded in any business oflice and will be of value to the student in his after high school jobs. At each of the four library desks, a student is in charge each period during the day. The student at the entrance desk checks books out and takes charge of the library slips, at the main desk, the student checks books in and out, takes care of fines, files cards, and checks magazines on reserve, at the reserve desk the student checks only the books on reserve, and at the periodical desk, the student is in charge of all the magazines in the file room. In addition to these desk jobs, students also do book mending, shelving, lettering and pasting, write fine and overdue slips, and act as messengers. Pagzfourleen

HUMMEL MABEL POPE ELIZABETH STANNARD MELISSA WEST Languages Foreign languages aim to help our young people to have a better underf standing of four great people-the Romans, the French, the Spanish, and the Germans-peoples who are a part of Americas past and present. The students become familiar with the music, songs, dances, politics, legends, and literature of these nations. This familiarity helps them to solve presentfday needs-the need for clearer comprehension of what they read in newspapers, magazines, and books, and what they hear over the radio and see in the moviesg the need for a better command of Words in talking with others, an ability gained through a more colorful vocabularyg and the need for a more sympathetic understanding of other races and peoples. The department, through its five clubs, also strives to encourage creative ability, and provides an opportunity for making friends and developing responsibility and leadership.
