MALE QUARTETTE Although few appearances have been made, the music rendered by the Male Quartette has been well received. As this is the second year for a High School Quartette they have displayed their talent exceptionally well. Two of the boys are Seniors and will leave this year. We hope their places will be filled efliciently in the future. -Mary Miller 1923

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
