irneir Tields of The purpose of the guidance program is to help each individual to find a place where he can live a happy, successful life and contribute his share to the welfare of others. The guidance counselor helps the student face himself and his problems and to know his potentialities and weaknesses. Why? Why? Why? The scientific answers to the mysteries of life unfold in the science laboratory. Oscar, the skeleton, hovers over the classroom with a gruesome grin while two curious students count his bones, and another studies dust from his well-worn bones. The vocational agriculture shop building is the most modern addition to Andrew Lewis. Boys learn to use all kinds of wood-working equipment, electric and acetylene welding along with technical agriculture in the class¬ room. The courses offered in home economics are excellent. Classes in sewing show the latest fashions fresh from Paris, while other classes delve into the culinary arts and interior decoration.

Instruction In the social studies classes we search the archives for records of our inheritance, our legacies. Here we live with those who have given us our heritage, our democracy, America. Clickety-clack, clickety-clack! The busy hum of typewriters, the session going on in the shorthand class, and the counting of fingers and toes in the bookkeeping class all go to¬ gether to train the student for the cold, hard world of business that lies ahead of him after graduation. The purpose of distributive education is to provide a training program for students while in school that will prepare them for an occu¬ pation. Pictured is a student doing his after¬ noon store work which begins shortly after his morning classes have ended at school. Physical Education, the subject that is taught to keep the student in shape for other classes, presents fun and enjoyment for all. Basketball, exercises, stunts, and various other types of games are engaged in by the students.
