HOME ECONOMICS There are fourteen members enrolled in the Home Economics course this year, six of whom are Sophomores and eight of whom are Freshmen. The work is organized so that the pupil will get all of the training for the practical efficiency in the home. The course of study for the Freshmen girls is divided into two parts. An equal amout of time is devoted to Food work and clothing work. The Sophomore girls work includes a course in cooking, sewing, die- tetics, sanitation, home sanitation, home nursing and a general course in Home planning and Home management. Hot lunches, sold at a low cost each day are prepared by an able cook who is assisted by the Home Economics girls during the noon hour. Each pupil of both classes will have to do some project work, which will give her more practice, for Practice makes Perfect. Both classes have progressed this year with the help of their teacher, Miss Heckathorn. -Flossie Norris 1928

THE LATIN DEPARTMENT UROMANI HODIERNP' Omne initum est difiici1e - Every beginning is difficult . Any Latin student, who has struggled to translate the books required for a four year course, readily agrees with this slogan. No matter how difficult the beginning, we find the end more helpful and interesting. Our civilization is largely derived from the Romans, including our laws, political customs, religion and even our every day customs. Few of us realize the extent of our obligations to the Romans. Not only have we taken over these laws but the very words by which we name them, are of Latin origin. The Freshman Class, with the exception of a few members, entered the first year Latin and have composed the largest class ever enrolled in this course. We hope they will keep on, for, as yet, they have only begun. The Virgil Class consisted of six members, namely, Sarah Fisher, Hazel Deter, Cloyce Wolfe, Rachael Beihler, Dorotha Brinkman and Eleanore Poole. - Bonum, Melius, Optimum Numquam requisat Dum bonum est melius Et melius est optimum -Eleanore Poole 1928

VOCA TIONAL AGRICULTURE Vocational Agriculture is one of the newer phases of education in our High School curriculum. This course has been introduced into our school to enable the boys in the rural communities to have a vocational course equivalent to the vocational courses given to his city brothers. This course is the outgrowth of the need for more scientific, specific and practical training for the farm boys. S In this Work the boys carry an Agriculture course each year plus a general shop course in the second year. In the class room they are taught the fundamentals and advanced practices, supervised by their parents and the Agricultural teacher. This business of actually doing that which has been learned in the class room impresses it upon the boy's mind so that he will remember it more easily. There are three main purposes of the supervised farm practices or project. They are mainly, to closer unite father and song to better teach the boy how to make a living on the farm, to make some extra money for the boy, and to teach him to keep records. The success of any project depends primarily upon the interest of the boy, that of his parents and that of the Agricultural teacher. The course here at Van Buren is the oldest in Hancock county and one of the oldest in the state of Ohio. Six teachers from four states having taught the work here and the boys have had a wealth of variety which is a great aid to the community as a whole. 1928
