The Faculty and Its Work In the classrooms of the school, the student receives training of the mind and body, necessary to prepare him for a well-rounded future. That each student develop soundness of mind and health of body is the objective of our high school courses. Each department contributes in some way to this collective aim. Youth learns to care for and maintain a clean, healthy body through physical education and the study of hygiene. He is taught to appreciate true beauty through the creative work of the Art and Music departments. Poise, self-confidence, and development of the art of speech delivery, all accomplishments of the public speech student, help to enable the youth to express more eloquently and confidently the knowledge he has gained throughout the high school years. The cultural effect is gained from the study of the languages, French and Spanish, as well as the classic Latin. Chemistry, biology, and physics prepare the scientifically minded for further training in the field of science. The practical value of mathematics is emphasized by extensive courses in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. For those interested in the business world, a commercial course is offered. Those boys mechanically inclined are urged to take advantage of the machinery, equipment, and courses of study under the Vocational Department, while girls may prepare for home-making in the Home Economics Department. Practical and cultural value are both embodied in the English class, where every-day use of grammar is taught— plus the great literature of America and England. Since every young American should be thoroughly acquainted with the problems that our country must face after this war is won, the history classes include American History, civics, and Problems of Democracy. Yes, the graduating senior, having received a well-rounded education, steps confidently forth to face the future through the efforts of our faculty.
