Tne gymnasium has a capacity of nearly 400 and is fully equipped with individual lockers, dressing rooms for both boys and girls, and shower baths. Second-Our course of study. Six courses are offered to the students. W'e have the Professional Course, which is intended for those who are at least planning' for a course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts and possibly also intending to enter one of the professional courses later. The Noimal Training Course prepares one for teaching. Graduates from the course may, by passing the state examination in the normal training subjects receive a two year's state certificate. The General Course, which contains mathematics, science, and forms of hand work, is intended for those students who wish to enter an engineering, technical or scientific school after leaving high school or who expect to enter, immediately upon graduation, some active form of life. The Commercial Course is intended for those students who enter upon a business career after completing high school. The Manual Arts Course features Domestic Science and Art for the girls, and Manual Training for the boys. The course is intend- ed to give foundation for trades and home building. The Vocational Agriculture Course, which is supported chiefly by Federal Aid, is for the purpose of teaching agriculture by theory and practice for twelve months a year. Third-The efficiency of instruction and the actual accomplishment of work by the students. We have a faculty of twenty-two members. The work of the school is divided into departments and each teacheris a specialist in his or her line. This insures the best possible instruction and affords an opportunity for pupils to come in contact with the work in such a way that it results in the building of a broad mental foundation for future specialization. Fourth-Our school spirit and school organizations. Under the direction of the faculty members we maintain Y. W. and.Hi-Y. Organizations, Glee Clubs, success- ful football, basketball, baseball, and track teams. Fifth-The work of our Alunmi and the recognition they receive in the edu- cational world. These have gone into almost every useful work of life. The Beloit High School has been approved for some years with the rank of Class A, this being the h'ghest ranking in the state. It has also been approved for several years by the State Board of Education to receive state aid for Normal Train- ing, Normal Training Agriculture, Home Economics, and has just been approved by both the State and the Federal Board for Vocational Education. t ,Q
