Secondary Department MR. BERTIN This year there were two groups of students enrolled in the Depart- ment of Secondary ' Education — one grou p comprised of those who were preparing- to enter the profession of education, and the other includes students who were preparing for other professions, such as medicine, law, engineering, journalism, dentistry, architecture, and the like. The two groups were about evenly divided, with approximately 200 students in each. The future teacher group chose a field of specialization for their careers in education. Thus, some were majoring in mathematics, others in the biological sciences, and still others in foreign languages, English, the social studies, and so on. Tiie students in the Department who are heading toward careers in education can complete their preparation for a degree and a certificate to teach or assume administrative positions. The others are able to complete only their general college education, and must transfer to other colleges to secure the special training required for their several professions. More than a hundred of this latter group were Pennsylvania State College Freshmen who will return to Penn State after one or two years at Mansfield. College Classes

MISS GRIGSBY Junior High The Junior Hifjh Laboratory School, located on the hill, fulfills a two-fold purpose. The first purpose is to provide modern Junior Hij;h School facilities for the pupils of the seventh, eighth, and ninth o ' rades. The second purpose is to g ' ive the college Junior and Senior secondary students an opportunity to secure experience in working with adolescent boys and girls in actual classroom situations. For the Junior High School pupils the Junior High School is oi ' ganized and conducted according to the basic principles of any modern Junior High .School. The curriculum follows the plan prescribed by the State of Pennsylvania. Homemaking courses are required for all girls, as are also Industrial Arts for the boys. A well organized program of physical education and excel- lent opportunities for music training are among the unusual facilities offered in so small a Junior High School. For the college student jjreparing to enter the teaching pro- fession, the experience offered in the Junior High School is of greatest value. Under careful supervision the student gains an insight into the nature of the young adolescent. The student has the opportunity to apply his knowledge of teaching prin- ciples gained in his college theory classes. Through careful guidance and advice given by his departmental supervisor, the student gains experience in actual classroom teaching. Every effort is made to give xhe college student experiences similar to those he will meet when he enters the teaching field. Junior Hifth School Science. Mr. Hyde. Mr. Lloyd. Back row: Mr. Marvin.
