MENDOTA HIGH has always been proud of its ver- satile curriculum. For the students with college in mind we offer gen- I17 eral colle e re arator coursesfchemistr , En lish, e Latin, algegbraphisliory, ahd so forth. Y Q Those who are not college bound can find interest- ing classes to prepare them for a future in the business Ouy' ivorld. Some of these are typing, shorthand, and book- eeping. Boys are especially attracted to diversified occupa- tions in which they receive on-the-job training and build- cu ing trades where they actually build a house. Several significant changes were made in the cur- riculum this year. For the first time all English and math u M students were placed into classes according to their abil- ity to absorb new material. This proved to be a more satisfactory method of enabling each student to work at his capacity without being hindered by those who work faster or slower. In the social science field, the family living classes were divided into separate classes for girls and boys. ' Two new types of classes were also offered. Seniors interested in world affairs can now take problems of democracy. Those students more inclined toward art . . work can take an extra-curricular course in that subject. bu This group meets two times a week instead of the usual our 1 five. When the new buildings are completed, more courses will correspondingly be added. Home economics girls got in the holiday spirit by making fancy Christmas candles. .-
