For boys that do not find an interest in engineering or one of the sciences, a general course is given. This course is designed to prepare them for a trade. They are given an opportunity to develop skills in welding, mech- anical drawing, wood working, and to become apt in the use of the equipment that can be found in the shop. These courses are taught by Mr. Graham and Mr. Kuzman. Girls, too, may find the general course best suited to them. They may enroll in Home Ec., taught by Miss Wool- way, where they experiment in refinishing furniture, plan and prepare meals on a budget, and design and make their own clothes. Brooklyn, it might be said, works on the policy that, All work and no play makes John a dull boy , so a va- riety of non-academic courses are open to all students. The artistic minded find Mr. Karakul's room just the place to spend their elective periods. The students are kept busy displaying their talents in making posters for the carnival, props for half-time shows at football games and designing and printing programs for such big oc- casions as the dedication of the auditorium. Offering an opportunity for students to have fun and learn about everyday plants and animals, is biology. Keep- ing the greenhouse is the responsibility of the members of this class and under the guidance of Mr. Marquardt find us busy students like Jerry Vince, Russ Tegtmeier, and Henry Rup- pel, find watering, cultivating plants and carrying on pet projects a rewarding hobby. They can be iustly proud of their orchids! The feel of a beat or the sound of good harmony attracts many students to the music room. No profes- sional training is needed to loin the chorus so it is open to any student in the upper four grades. Under the di- rection of Miss Ruppelt, vocal music is prepared and pre- sented at many school affairs. For those who play an in- strument, the band, under the baton of Mr. Phillips, offers an opportunity to perform on the football field as well as on the concert stage. Although only a half credit course, driver training is well liked by all students who want to learn to drive and make good citizens of the highway. We at Brooklyn spend 7 hours and T5 minutes in school each day. In that time we are working, playing and growing so that when it is our time to be citizens and leaders of our community, state, and country, we may be fully prepared for our task.
