The high school courses in Home Economics are planned with the purpose of providing for the development of appreciation and ideals concerning home life and its activities, as well as an opportunity for the acquisition of a degree of skill in handling typical home situations. The following courses are offered to juniors and seniors: I . Textiles and Clothing, 2. Advanced Clothing and Costume Design, 3. Meal planning and Food Preparation, 4. Advanced Foods and Nutrition, 5. Home Planning and Child Care. MAN UAL ARTS The aim of the Manual Arts is to allow the student to explore, and to open various doors of industrial pursuits in order to assist him in selecting his life work. It is the aim to accomplish this large task by making surveys of our local industries and by the use of moving pictures and lectures. The course is not theory only, since explorations are reinforced by actual ex- periences in these particular lines. The work has a definite value from the trade stand- point and through the student's experience he becomes a better consumer. Sophomores are offered Auto Mechanics and Mechanical Drawing, juniors Machine Shop and Mechanical Drawing, while the seniors are given their choice of work. Architectural Drawing and Advanced Cabinet Making are suggested as the regular senior course. Page m'r'l1'e

First, it aims to give training in Health. Health needs of the individual are imperative and can not be neglected. Second, Command of Fundamental Processes. These should be more or less completely learned in the elementary school. Yet, there is still place for further train- ing. This is particularly true of our mother tongue. Third, Worthy Home Membership. The social studies, literature, music, art, and home arts, should all contribute to this. Fourth, Vocation. The high school is not organized to give strictly vocational training. In its commercial, home and manual arts. music, art, and academic de- partments it attempts to give pre-vocational training. An effective program of voca- tional-educational guidance is also under way. Fifth, Civic Responsibility. This includes a many-sided interest in the welfare of the community. the ability to think and act in terms of the interests of the larger group, and participation in community affairs. Sixth, Worthy Use of Leisure. This means more than listening to the radio or seeing the movies. It calls for the ability to make use of the common means of recreation, literature, art, drama, music, social intercourse, and neighborliness. Lastly, Ethical Character. This is of the greatest importance. It means honesty, decency, reliability, integrity. It means the development of the spirit of service above self. It means the true democcracy. It means the development of a sense of personal responsibility and initiative. It is infinitely more important than graduating with honors and letter awards. Priya vluwlz

BIOLOGY, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY A course in any of the sciences acquaints the pupils with scientific facts. Train- ing is given in the laboratory method, in accuracy, and in neatness. The pupil must learn to be accurate in observation, straight in thinking, and fair in judgment. The individual acquires experience in manipulating apparatus. Last but not least, a course in science often awakens interest which leads a student to choose his life work. MATHEMATICS The curriculum in mathematics is arranged to meet the needs of the following pupils: Those who intend to go to colleges and technical schools, those who are going to specialize in commercial work that requires algebra, those who expect to specialize in science, and those who desire to study mathematics because they like it. The mathematics is elective. Plane geometry is offered in the first year, inter- mediate algebra and solid geometry in the second, college algebra and trigonometry with some elementary analytical geometry and calculus in the third. Throughout the courses non-essentials have been eliminated and more emphasis put on the ability to reason and think than on much meaningless manipulation. COMMERCIAL The Commercial Course is 98? practical and is designed of students who are to enter business rather than college, or, to with which they may earn their way through college. As a cultural value it develops habits of good character initiative, adaptability, courtesy and thrift, and gives confidence in work with dispatch in a neat and orderly manner. to meet the needs give students tools and dependability, one's ability to do Bookkeeping, Stenography, General Office Practice, and Salesmanship are offered to juniors and seniors.
