Argentine High School - Mustang Yearbook (Kansas City, KS)

Page 11 text:

Along with other educational institutions of the nation, Argentine High School is endeavoring to do all that it can do in preparing students and adults to meet their responsi- bilities as good citizens. At present, the offerings are streamlined to promote the war effort. English, mathematics, science, and the social sciences have a definite function. Office training, radio and code, airplane mechanics, machine shop, and other vocational courses provide the skills which enable boys and girls to serve more efficiently. Courses in home- nursing, first aid, and physical conditioning contribute to the health of the students. Shop courses for both employed and unemployed men and women, courses for auxiliary firemen and auxiliary police, and courses in home nursing and first aid have served large numbers of adults. Thus, the graduates of this school have training which can be used and so they are in great demand. In fact, the large percentage of stu- dents get out-of-school work experience along with in- school training. Employers are eager to have such training and experience, and so Argentine High School is well represented in practically every large business, shop, and factory in the Kansas City area, and her boys are every- where on land and sea and in the air doing a heroic service for their country.

All Q- FRIENDLY WELCOME X ?. And now as you enter the Argentine High School we would like to take you on a personally conducted tour through our classrooms and building. Much of the work in the high school office consists of keeping accurate attendance records, accurate and complete scholarship records, and detailed financial records. Enrollment problems which involve a com- prehensive testing and guidance program, services of various types to the public, the teachers and the stu- dents, and an alertness to the many little details which are ever present,—all of these are responsibilities of the office force. Argentine High School has two full-time clerks, one acting as general clerk and the other as record clerk or registrar. Ten senior girls assist for one hour each. This staff serves as the center around which much activity occurs. OFFICE MISS JANET CLARK General Clerk MISS MARGARET PENNY Registrar MR. J. C. HARMON Principal •
