Class MATHEMATICS Under the careful supervision of Miss Gladys Dawson, freshman algebra stu- dents take their first steps into the world of unknown quantities. This pro- vides a background for future mathe- matics classes. AGRICULTURE Even though the Ag class room is one of the smallest in the building, it is used for many things. Here boys learn to be excellent farmers, how to properly care for cattle, increase the productivity of the soil and to iudge vegetables and poultry. SPEECH For those interested in acquiring poise before an audience, Mrs. Elsie Ball's speech classes provide an excel- lent training. One may gain the con- fidence necessary for any type of pub- lic speaking he may be called upon Io do, after taking this course.
