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.
