EDUCATION Senior High School Upon entering senior high school, pupils are confronted with a choice of educational pathways, which de- pends upon their skills, interests, and future plans. A tentative high school plan is made in the ninth grade. This program must include the required courses and credits, and the academic and non-academic electives. The academic electives are languages, math- ematics, and natural science. The non- 'AWhere, oh where does the dangling participle dangleF!' Grammar, punc- tuation, composition, poetry, oral talks, and headaches gaily follow the student academic electives, which are known as HF subjects, consist of music, art, commercial, and home economics. Senior high school education is pro- vided without tuition charges to pupils living within Minneapolis. It is paid for by taxation, costing about S110 per pupil per year. Students in senior high school provide their own books which amount to between 155 and 256 a year per student. Other items of expense may include the senior budget, ENGLISH from first grade through twelfth grade. The lirst thing that greets the tenth grader is the huge American Literature book.

Many of these expenses are optional. Outside of the regular required courses are many extracurricular activ- ities which develop friendships, abil- ities, and responsibilities, and also aid in laying the foundation for a success- ful future. shock, others soon follow in the form of the minimum essentials, the com- position test, and the co-operative Eng- lish test. ln the tenth grade short stories, bi- ography, mythology, and historical selections are studied. Eleven-B Eng- lisli this year, consisted only of news. Perhaps this was because of the interest in writing news stories or the un- oflieial rumor that news was easy. Eleven-A English consists entirely of the study of Shakespeare and Eliz- abethan England. ln twelfth grade students study selections of the maior English writers from the lifth to the twentieth centuries. For thc more talented students cre- ative writing, speech, and modern drama are offered. Creative writing is intended to help the pupils acquire skill and appreciation in writing and reading.

MATH Math-axioms, theorems, angles. and circles whirl unsteadily in the minds oi' the tenth graders who have not yet become accustomed to the mathematical relationships ot geomet- rical figures. ln order to complete the required mathematical course ol two years for college entrance. most students struggle through either ele- mentary algebra or practical math in ninth grade, and follow up with plain geometry in tenth. Algebra. with its unknown quantities. is also offered in senior high school for those who wish it. ln preparation for engineering. medicine. aviation. and induction into the armed forces: trigonometry. ad- vanced algebra. and solid geometry are orlered for the juniors and seniors. Advanced algebra consists of the ad- vanced study of formulas and equaf tions: solid geometry deals with cubes and spheres: and trigonometry is the relationships between the angles. iXlATH TE.XfIlll:liSZ MR.

VVe can't have Quill Club: I havenit written anything yet. This familiar shriek resounds through Wilsh- burns halls as one ol Quill's members grabs paper and pen and settles down to await an inspiration. Quill is composed of pupils who possess a natural l-lair for writing and whose tryout manuscripts have been acceptable to club members. After careful judging by the Quillites as to use ot local color, style, and originality. the authors are notified of their ac- ceptance. Regular meetings where members read their original manuscripts and re- ceive the constructive criticisms of fel- low members comprised the calendar ot Quill along with initiation and the Senior Farewell. SHOP TQIQACIIICRSZ MR. Liana, Mit. HLNLEY This l72LIt'hl'716 nge! SHOP Shop-The shops offered in VVashburn are woodworking and mechanical drawing. Each shop has a Finely equipped room, and with Mr. Henley in woodwork- ing and Mr. Lee holding forth in mechanical drawing, our shops are among the finest in the city. VVoodworking generally goes through S-L but in rare cases can a boy go through S6. In every semester the boys IHUSI complete projects and then are free to make anything they want. This year they are making crutches for the Red Cross and one hun- dred pingkpong net holders. They have a hne supply of equipment and material. and so far there has been no trouble in getting them. 2 I
