,Mwst TYPICAL LOXV JUNIOR The chief trouble with this school is the doors. They're too low, quotes Stanford Ball, Missions typical low junior. Standing 6 feet, 3 inches tall, with blond curly hair and blue eyes, Stan surveys the world with a bird's- cye view. Stan collects everything from newspapers to menus, dances a littleg stays home three evenings a week, and feels that studying is kind of boring but it has to be done. His amusements consist of listening to Bob Hope, reading Major Hoople, and going to the movies. His pet hate is women radio announcers. He likes blind dates, doesn't care for Dutch treats, likes girls styles but thinks , girls wear crazy hats that fit their personalities. IACII TWIZNTY Students Aim For Careers Believe it or not, out of Mission's total enrollment of 2600 students, 2271 of them were enrolled in some commercial class this term. This is probably due to the fact that Mission's commercial department is so well equipped that students are able to secure jobs with no further training necessary other than that which they received at school. Out of that 2271, 1766 were girls and 505 were boys. More boys are training for secretarial work because there has been an increased demand for male employees in of- fices of insurance companies and such places. Although most of the commercial depart- ment is mainly interested in fitting the stu- dents for jobs, the course of Senior Book- keeping gives them an idea of how to handle the different financial problems which will undoubtedly come up in future years. The Home Economics Department is con- stantly at work teaching how to sew, em- broider, make hats, and cook. While most of the girls are interested in cooking for their job as housewives, quite a number of boys take it to help in training for jobs such as hotel managers. The fundamental purpose of the Home Economics Department is to train children for the home, but many who major in it are able to use it in vocational fields. Mme 710 J'c'f?00!

E1 N. TYPICAL HIGH SOPHOMORE Although he doesn't think he's typical, Art Bauer is this term's embodi- ment of all high sophomores. Blond, 16, 5 feet 9 inches tall, blue eyes, thats Art, Art stays home two nights a week to study, he claims, the others he just fools around. His ideal girl must be six inches shorter than he, either blonde or brunette, but redheads are out. He thinks Dutch treats are okay once in a while, but doesn't believe in making a practice of it. At school he takes history and math majors and feels that he would like to run for student body otlice if my grades are good enough. On the subject of attire, Art feels that neckties are a bother, and his affection for dirty cords may be seen in the picture above.

Expe ' nce in shop rl-1 is invaluable in training for both avocations and vocations. In the Cabinet Shops, the majority of boys were interested in making hope chests this term. Whether they are for mothers or sweet- hearts is a debatable question, however any woman or girl should be proud to have one. The Safety Driving classes, under the sup- ervision of Mr. Branstetter, have been very active learning how to save lives. They have appeared on several radio broadcasts given by Herbert Herzenberg, State ofhcial on trallic, entitled Live and Let Live. Also, one day a term the classes go to judge Dunn's traffic court to listen to various traffic cases. The safety driving course acquaints and im- presses students with good driving habits and impresses the use of good common sense, both of course very essential toward good citizenship. ww aw 'zoz E asa ll70WEJ 102 .t at 302 onncmb Q3 Q5 sox as t' si- Q QQ JPORTJ' 202 y 202 Q ian RADIOS Ein E
