Departments and Courses 1. HIGH SCHOOL 111. BIBLE INSTITUTE II. BUSINESS IV. MUSIC 1. High School Department F. J. HOLLINBECK, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT The studies pursued in this department are the same as those in a good high school. The important difference is the instruction in the Bible. The courses are so arranged as to prepare students for entrance into college, university, or technical school, in the case of those who are planning such a career. Others, who do not contemplate advanced studies, will find the courses a broad education in themselves. ADMISSION Students who have graduated from the eighth grade of a public school are admitted into the first year of the Academy without examination. Those who have no such diploma are expected to show a mastery of the subjects taught in the public school, or take prelim- inary work. Anyone who has pursued studies in some other academy or high school and wishes to enter an advanced class will be given credit for the work done in another school. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION To complete the course satisfactorily and secure a diploma as evidence thereof, a student must obtain 16 credits. This requirement is satisfied by carrying four regular studies through the year for four years. Mature students are able to shorten their course by carrying an extra subject or by attending our summer school. Ordinarily the student is required to follow one of the five prescribed courses: the Latin, the Modern Language, the Scientific, the Music, or the Business course. 25

CATALOG,MINNEHAHA ACADEMY STUDENT ATHLETIC BOARD The athletic interests of the school are centered in the Student Athletic Board, which consists of twelve members, one boy and one girl from each of the four high school classes, the business department7 and the Bible institute. Meetings of this group are held regularly for the purpose of discussing the various phases of athletic activities and all details in connection with interscholastic games are carried out by them. Their work is supervised by the faculty director of athletics. THE ANTLER The Antler is the annual or year-book of the school. It is published under the leadership of the graduating class with the help of special representatives from other Classes. The annual includes a description of the different activities, Classes and organizations of Minnehaha Academy and a large number of pictures from school life. SCHOOL CHORUS The School Chorus is an organization consisting of students who are interested in choral work. The purpose is to instruct the students in harmony and sightsinging. Mr. Burns, the head of the music department, is the director. A concert is given every spring in con- nection with the commencement festivities. ODE OAKLAS SOCIETY Realizing the number of girls that wish to obtain further ability in literary work the school has deemed it wise to form another organ- ization similar to the Nokomis Literary Society. Such a society was organized at the beginning of the year 1923-24 and was named the Ode Oaklas Society. Its aim is to give its members a thorough and wholesome training in literary work. CURRENT EVENTS CLASS As its name implies this group meets for discussion of current events. The members bring to class items of special interest in various fields of activity,apolitical, economic, social and religious. A fund of useful information is thereby acquired. The students themselves conduct the class, under the supervision of a faculty adviser. SCIENCE CLUB It is planned to organize a Science Club in the fall semester of this year. The subjects for discussion will be taken from the usual branches of science with emphasis on practical topics. Membership will be open to students who have had one year of science. The club will meet twice a month during the regular student activities period. 24
