Today B. H. S. tries to prepare everyone for life, whether carpenter or housewife. The minimum re- quirements are flexible enough to fit any student's needs, English, history, social studies, science, health and P.E. being required, with the student himself selecting his major and minor. New on the curricu- lum this year was a general science course designed to give a scientific knowledge to those students not going on to college. The vocational departments were featured in Sunday's f1-lerald ' in a new program of public relations. 20
