Classroom Activities in V. H. S. Teachers and Pupils Work Together On the following pages are to be found pictures of the various departments in V. H. S. These were taken while classes were at work and are representative of the daily atmos- phere and environment in the school. Beginning at the upper right and going across and down, we can see the following: first, two freshman English pupils struggling over prepositional phrases. The next scene is a usual study hall period where students, grouped at tables, are preparing their daily lessons and taking advantage of the school ' s adequate library. The third picture shows the instructor, Mr. Brown, aiding Glenn Owens in mechanical drawing. Miss Sieb gives a final check on the sentences of Marian Crosby and Ted Falls. Mr. Bigelow oversees the lathe work of Vernon Detlefs. Mr. Conkling seems pleased as Roy Shinabarger holds the attention of pupils in public speak- ing class.

Students Find Worl Interesting Pupils are Busy at All Times Miss Hudson is giving instruction in the technique of typing, and we see James Smith, Sarah Derman, and Herbert Mendel preparing a daily lesson. Mrs. Krueger, librarian, is watching Vivian McCann, who is signing up for a book she is taking from the library. At 10:10 each morning the halls resolve themselves into a candy and ice cream vending place, and students refresh themselves for the rest of the morning. Mona Reed and Roger Church seem to be trying to master the metric system in Miss Miller ' s general mathematics class, which is conducted especially for freshmen. Frances McGillicuddy is marking a dress for Mary Helen Thrun which is to be hemmed. This is one of the many exercises in the sewing class. Seated at a table are Norman Danielson, Robert Laughrey, Richard Zimmerman, and Herbert Mendel in the physics laboratory. They are engaged in writing up an experiment which they have just completed. Lillian Wilson and Emily White are diligently working to complete an art assignment. It seems that Mr. Schenck is explain- ing a troublesome question to his bookkeeping class. 14
