This year the curriculum of Blissfield High was expanded so that the students would have a greater opportunity to take the subiects that would be of the most benefit to them. For the first time the stu- dents were able to take a full year of Advanced Algebra as well as Solid Geometry and Trigonometry each year. The students were also given an oppor- tunityto take Latin I, Latin ll, Spanish I, or Spanish Il each year. In addition to these changes the stu- dents who desired to take only half a semester of typing for their own personal needs were given the opportunity to do so. This was a great asset to those who were planning on attending college. Once again Driver Education was very much in demand as beginning with this year it became ne cessa r y that those students wishing to obtain licenses when they reached the age of sixteen to take Driver Education.
