THE CORNERSTONE OF THE WORLD By LAVON ELSON Montpelier High School provides five different courses from which you may make your own choice. Some take the College Preparatory course which prepares for college. The General Course provides a varied program for everyday living. The future of the world is left to highly edu- cated races who alone can handle the scientific apparatus necessary for peace or survival in war. The Commercial Course offers technical training for those interested in ofhce work or bookkeeping. The education of girls for the duration cannot be considered entirely apart from the education of all youth during the war. This constitutes the Home Ee. Course which enables girls to be better homemakers. It will pave the future for girls who are interested. There are certain required subjects: English, American History, and American Government. You have your choice with the other intersting subjects. Two new subjects recently added to our courses of study are Mechanical Drawing and In- dustrial Arts, which will be needed greatly in win- ning the war. Music and Glee Clubs provide for the aes- tastes and fancies. Physical Education is required of everyone un- less physically handicapped, with military training which equips Juniors and Seniors for the armed service. Each student must have a certain number of majors and minors in order to receive a diploma of graduation. The Sophomore rank is three, Jun- ior eleven, and Senior sixteen. Courses will necessarily be changed to meet present needs and we predict a more extensive and intensive system of preparing the student of to- morrow for his chosen career. -Lavon Elson FIVE-WAY PROGRAM Accredited by the North Central Association ot Secondary Schools and Colleges e First Year 'U l U1 69.952 'sme-:QQO 5'-6'5'lZrra'2 O n-f o H2552 H in Z' :Q Q., H.

In the social studies department, we are attempting to un- derstand the reason for this conflict and also to in some measure, pre- pare to render service of a civic nature in the post-war period. DEAN B. KANNEI., Montpelier, Ohio Northern State, Michigan, Bowling Green, Music Special, Music, Band, Orchestra, Chorus, Special Hobbies or Interests, Sports. ll Music is a greater back-bone of our world today, than ever before in the history of our world, both physically and spiritually. Our music students, upon graduation have gone and are going into our armed forces to take their places in bands and orchestras to give entertain- ment and inspiration to their fellow men. That is why it is such a pleasure to work with students now, for they realize the great need for music and have visioned the future's need for them. MILDRED BRINER, Montpelier, Ohio Secretary, Special Hobbies or Interests, Reading, Collecting Poems. ll Qualified secretaries are a needed asset in all lines of business today. They must be able to use all types of modern equipment, get out bulletins in record time and act as hosts in the place of officials when they are absent from the office, as well as aiding the students with their multiple problems. VERNICIQ ECHLER, Montpelier, Ohio School Custodian. llIt takes a well trained engineer to become a custodian in a modern building. Engineers in all departments today are men of marked ability and men who have specialized in various branches of work. A custodian of a modern high school building must have a Boiler Operators License. For Ohio, these tests are taken at the Department of Industrial Relations at Toledo. This license must be renewed every year. It takes much patience and hard study to accomplish this arduous task.4lVayne Diz'h'ir'b. Page I9
