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

The years have seen con- tinual change come about on our teaching staff. VVC discovered a unique situation this year when the wives of two instructors began teaching here. Mrs. Trula Smith, sewing teacher, and wife of the auto shop instructor, and Mrs. Dorothy Leedy, journalism teacher and Does wife, were the First faculty wives to teach on our staff. Others new this year were Mr. Boyd McCaslin, history and basketball, and Mrs. Mathilda Petry, commercial. Mrs. Virginia Larsen, retail sales, returned for her first full year of teach- ing. Mr. loe Stottlebower replaced Mrs. Leedy second semester.
