Possibly no atom will be split, nor a new element discovered in Mr. Nelson's interesting chemistry classes, but a firm foundation is being laid for our future scientists.

Sociology was added to the cur- riculum this year to help the students in analyzing themselves and making the proper social adjustments. Mr. Roe . . .

We Train to Work with Our Hands Mr. Wehner . . . Under the direction of Mr. Wehner, agriculture has been raised to the level of a true science. His help extends to all the farmers in this area. His work has done much to make our school a strong connecting link between education and the science of earning a living. Mr. Skoglund . . . Our boys obtain a practical foundation in mechanical draw- ing, blue print reading, and general shop work under our genial shop instructor, Mr. Skoglund.

Under the guidance of Miss Welch, our girls receive training in household purchasing, sewing, canning, home furnishing, and family problems. Judging from the savory odors coming from the home economics room, Rochelle High School can boast of a host of excel- lent cooks. Miss Welch also sponsors an adult community sewing group. Miss Howell . . . One of the finest tri- butes to Miss Howell, our commercial teacher, is the fact that nearly all of her students are placed in jobs as soon as they graduate. Commercial students receive eX- cellent training in typing, shorthand, dic- tation, bookkeeping, and general office problems. Advanced students obtain train- ing in the use of the latest types of office equipment including dictaphone, electric typewriters and adding machines, mimeo- scope and the mimeograph.
